Martin Luther King, Jr. Elementary, OKCPS

Come work at the best school around!

🌮💛 Huge shoutout to 23rd Street Eatery for blessing our staff with an amazing Taco Tuesday! We were honored to win their Teacher Appreciation giveaway, and they absolutely delivered. The food was fresh, flavorful, and made with so much care. From the tacos to the toppings, every bite was chef’s kiss certified. 🌮✨

More than the delicious meal, we truly appreciate a local business taking the time to celebrate and support educators. Small acts of kindness like this pour back into schools in a big way, and our staff felt so appreciated this week.

Thank you, 23rd Street Eatery, for thinking of teachers and making our day extra special! If you haven’t checked them out yet, you definitely should. Oklahoma City flavor with heart. 💛🌮

Cool cups and the Sunshine Committee, thank you for the lovely surprise! We appreciate your support during Teachers Appreciation Week. Cool cups

Dearest Readers,

In true Bridgerton fashion, our Teacher Appreciation Week began with elegance and delight. Our theme this year was Bridgerton, and we kicked off the festivities with coffee and pastries generously provided by Restore OKC, along with a charming “create your own” coffee mug gifted by the Admin Team. To add to the delight, Quayle United Methodist Church surprised our staff with a delightful ice cream bar!

It is with great admiration that we celebrate the most extraordinary educators. Our staff continues to inspire, uplift, and shape the future with grace, dedication, and a brilliance worthy of the ton.

To our remarkable teachers—your impact does not go unnoticed. We are ever so grateful for all that you do! 💐

Today we celebrate an incredible leader, Ms. Brittany Gifford💙💛

Happy National Principal’s Day to someone who shows up every single day with heart, purpose, and a deep commitment to our students, staff, and community. Your leadership helps make MLK Jr. Elementary a place where our Lions don’t just learn… they R.O.A.R.

Thank you for the long hours, the tough decisions, the encouragement, and the constant belief in what our students can become. It does not go unnoticed.

We appreciate you today and every day! 🦁✨

Ms.Island and Mrs. Porter! Happy Administrative Professionals Day to the incredible women who keep our front office running smoothly! 💐

You are the first smiles people see, the calm in the chaos, and the glue that holds it all together. From answering calls to solving problems (big and small), you do it all with grace and heart—and we are so grateful!

We appreciate you more than words can say. Our school is better because of you! 💛
