Mutual aid came from firefighting agencies from Northeast Lincoln County, Drumright, Perkins, Tryon, Ripley, Ingalls and Agra, Pixler said.

Ive been here since kindergarten and will really miss it very much. My friend Autumn and I, in kindergarten, picked out a tree on the playground and would go sit under it and talk when we were bored or not interested in playing. It is still our go-to tree. In six years at Deep Rock, one assumes, a dramatic young lady would have latched onto a boyfriend. Not so with Lexi. My dad said I cant have a boyfriend until Im in the seventh grade. That same dad, she said, awoke early with Lexi and her little sister on Christmas morning. We got up at 5:30 in the morning to open presents! she said, a strong hint of incredulity in her voice. Lexi said she likes food from the school cafeteria their hamburgers are delicisoso and music. In fact, she plans to be either a singer or an actress as an adult. I love to sing, Lexi said. If there were not music in the world, I would go crazy.

Oak Grove School latest to dine on Keystone

Students at Oak Grove Public Schools will have fresher, healthier meal options for the remainder of the school year, thanks to the school districts newly announced partnership with Keystone Foodservice. Keystone Foodservice focuses on providing freshly prepared breakfast and lunch options for the students it serves. The company, which served about 2,000 students daily during the 2012-13 school year, was selected as the cafeteria vendor for Oak Grove Public Schools between Cushing and Drumright. We are already seeing a difference in what Keystone offers our students, Krista Burden, superintendent of Oak Grove School, said. Keystone focuses on making fresh meals with students tastes in mind. They grill burgers and chicken on a grill seasoned by hand rather than cooking prepackaged meats one tray at a time. Our students are going to taste the difference. Keystone began serving breakfast and lunch Jan. 6 to the students at Oak Grove. Lunch includes a full salad bar, stocked daily with fresh fruits and vegetables. Free and reduced prices are availSee OAK page 4
