The Academy at Nola Dunn PTO and PIC

Did you know our PTO runs a Buy/Sell/Trade page for Academy families? 🔥

It’s the perfect place to find gently used uniforms, sell items your family has outgrown, and even ask questions—especially if you’re new to the Academy this Fall!

Be sure to go give the page a follow so you don’t miss out on some great deals!

It’s been a fantastic year, Olympians!! 🔥 We can’t thank you enough for all of your help volunteering and supporting the Academy at Nola Dunn!

Last week during the Year-End Assembly, we honored our Lifetime PTO Member Award recipients, Jacocks Real Estate & Home Staging, Re/Max Trinity, Casey & Jennifer Jacocks! 🎉 👏 They’re always willing to step up to the plate and help out, and we’re incredibly grateful they’re part of our Olympian family! Help us thank them for their outstanding service and leadership!!

We also had the honor to recognize three graduating Olympians who were selected to receive the 2025-2026 PTO Scholarship. They shared with current Olympians how their time at the Academy helped shape who they are today!!! 🥳🥳🥳

Congratulations to our PTO Scholarship recipients this year:

⭐️ Maria Graham - she is headed to Texas Christian University, where she’s working towards a career as a Physician Assistant
⭐️ Channing Ward - she is on her way to The University of Oklahoma, majoring in Business Healthcare
🌟 Layla Detty - she’ll be attending Texas A&M University, majoring in Biomedical Sciences to ultimately become a Dentist
