WHAT’S HAPPENING

Welcome to the first edition of The Oilton Wingman!!! Someone in your family or “like family” put you on our mailing list!

The Oilton Wingman name was chosen with the recognition that every person is critical for reaching our goals. Whether you live in Oilton, or miles away, YOU are one of the most valuable assets our kids have. And you can contribute in many ways. Random Fact: Oilton Public Schools serve approximately 290 students in grades Kindergarten through 12th.

The term Wingman stems from a time-honored tradition within the Air Force . . . that essentially says a lead pilot will never lose his or her Wingman. It's a promise, a pledge, a commitment . . . Wingman Culture affirms that each and every person is essential to our mission.” U.S. Tinker Air Force Base, Midwest City, OK

Dairy Classroom visiting Oilton

*The Mobile Dairy Classroom is a traveling milking parlor, featuring a live cow and an oral presentation. Our trained instructors will demonstrate how to milk a cow, describe how milk goes from the farm to the consumer, and then answer questions from the audience. This is an innovative program that brings the dairy experience directly to children. At schools, students and teachers share an experience that includes math, science, health (nutrition), and agriculture, all presented in an outdoor classroom format.
