Early Childhood Education

OEF believes making investments in our youngest children through Early Childhood Education improves academic, health, and social outcomes for the community.

100% College and career ready

OEF supports College and Career Readiness programs for students as they prepare for college or the workforce. These funds have allowed students to take ACT prep courses, provided students with caps and gowns for graduation, supported job shadowing, apprenticeship, and service learning programs.

STEM

STEM is important. OEF raises funds to help Okmulgee schools implement STEM education throughout the district.

Educator Experiences

OEF supports a variety of educator experiences throughout the district. Nearly $10,000 in teacher grants are awarded yearly to Okmulgee teachers to purchase classroom supplies, training opportunities, and other items needed by the Okmulgee educators.

Community schools

OEF provides funds for quality, learning-focused experiences they would not otherwise have. Expanded learning opportunities are a critical component of the community school strategy. When the final bell rings and the school day comes to an end, it marks the beginning of an unsupervised and unstructured time for many children.

Student Experiences

OEF supports a variety of student experiences throughout the district. OEF in conjunction with the Sam Viersen Family Foundation, sends a group of students monthly to see shows at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center. OEF proudly supports our Okmulgee Student Leadership program with an annual grant. These funds support various high school educational and social activities such as prom and graduation.
