Halito from District 4 and welcome fall!
I hope you are enjoying the cooler weather, football season, and time outdoors. The past few months in District 4 have been full of exciting events, and I’d like to share some highlights with you.
We celebrated Ms. Stella Thornburg’s milestone birthday—99 wonderful years! She is truly an inspiration, and we look forward to celebrating her 100th next year.
At the Dale Cox Community Center, construction is moving right along.
We are excited to see this incredible space come to life and begin serving our community soon.
Congratulations to District 4’s Shelby Featherston, owner of Pretty Paws Mobile Pet Spa LLC, for being named District 4 Business of the Year at the Chahtapreneur Awards Banquet!
The Rubin White Medical Clinic celebrated 30 years of service, providing outstanding health care to our tribal members. Yakoke to all past and present staff for your commitment to our community’s health.
We are proud of our Chahta Foundation Scholarship recipients: Miriam Luce, Aiden Parks, Brody Clark, Kiah King, and Mackenzie Heflin. Congratulations to each of you—we look forward to seeing all that you accomplish!
Our senior chair volleyball team made it to the playoffs and advanced to the championship game at the Labor Day Festival. You represented District 4 with pride!
District 4 commemorates the newly paved street and parking lot at Wister Public Schools with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The Youth Outreach program recently took a group of young men to a Texas Rangers baseball game, where they had a great time and made memories that will last a lifetime.
We also celebrated the opening of a newly paved street and parking lot at Wister School with a ribbon cutting. This project will have a lasting, positive impact on students, families, and the entire community. Yakoke to the town of Wister, Wister School, the Choctaw Nation, and Robinson Construction for working together to make this project a reality.
The Superintendent Luncheon, hosted by the Choctaw Nation Student Services team, was another great success. It was wonderful to see District 4 well represented. Yakoke to all our educators for supporting, guiding, and empowering our students.
It is truly an honor to serve District 4. If I can ever be of assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yakoke and God Bless.
