First School-wide Science Fair was a great success
First Schoolwide Science Fair was held in Discovery School of Tulsa on Saturday, February 6th, 2010. There were around 100 projects qualified in Elementray and middle school division. Projects were examined by 10 judges from different institutions.
Thanks to all students, teachers and parents participating in the science fair.
February is National Heart Month and we are thrilled that DST will be participating in the American Heart Association’s Jump Rope for Heart this year! The students will be receiving their collection envelopes this week in PE and will start collecting donations immediately. Parents will need to sign the permission slip attached to the envelope and have their student turn it in to Ms. Taylor before their event date.
The Jump Rope for Heart event will take place from 3:30-4:00 on the following dates. You are more than welcome to come watch your child participate! Monday, February 22: 3rd-5th grades Tuesday, February 23: K-2nd grades Thursday, February 25: 6th-8th grades
All donations collected will need to be turned in at the event before jumping. AHA has made donating easier than ever by offering an online donation program. Your child can register to create a web page and simply email friends and family to have them donate online. To register or to find more information about Jump Rope for Heart, check out their website: www.americanheart.org/jump
Thank you for all of your support with this event! It is important that our students learn to help others, while also learning to maintain a healthy heart. Please email Ms. Taylor at taylor@discoveryok.org if you have any questions.
Let’s encourage our students in this important, life-saving experience!
Black History Month
Americans have recognized black history annually since 1926, first as "Negro History Week" and later as "Black History Month." What you might not know is that black history had barely begun to be studied-or even documented-when the tradition originated. Although blacks have been in America at least as far back as colonial times, it was not until the 20th century that they gained a respectable presence in the history books.

Cartridge/Toner Recycling for fundraising
There is a new fundraising activity started at Discovery School. We encourage parents and students to collect used printer cartridges/toners and bring them to school.
The best thing about this activity is you are not only helping our school and students, but also recycling all those items to help the Earth. We appreciate your continued support. See Mr. Guzey for details.
