Bravo !
 
An interjection of praise for a performance—and, performers.
 
Bravo  was one of my several superlative sentiments this past week as we enjoyed Metro’s production of the  Wizard of Oz.
 
Re-creating this 1939 classic (under the direction of Mrs. Abby Phillips), nearly 100 cast and crew delighted (appropriately distanced) crowds all week with:

  • 6 performances
  • Performed after only 8 rehearsals - with a re-casting of 8 lead roles
  • 45 High School and Middle School performers and crew
  • 3 casts of Munchkins
  • A recruited alumni crew from the Classes of 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 to work alongside Bella Knapp, Stage Manager
  • All new lighting and new microphones

Such talent. Such enthusiasm. Such fun.
 
Bravo , indeed!
 
Let’s face it, “There’s no place like home…” takes on a whole new meaning in 2020. What a blessing it was to have so many Metro people back here at Metro! The way things were meant to be.
 
We look forward to moving forward. We are still committed to getting back as soon as we can, as much as we can, as normally as we can, as safely as we can.
 
To that end we…
 
  • Eagerly await CDC's, THD's, and Mayor Bynum's (additionally) upcoming, updated guidelines. (These will help inform some of our return protocols.)
  • Strategically research, plan, and prepare a model that makes most sense for Metro.
 
We plan to publish the  Return to Learn  protocols on Sunday, July 19.
 
In the meantime, we have some big events coming up in  July  that we eagerly anticipate,  and  we have  Return to Athletics  on Monday, July 6 for which updated protocols will be released at the end of  this  week.
 
We also continue to celebrate record enrollments of over 950 students in Camp Patriot—and, good health, too😊!
 
Moving forward together,
 
Keith
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

We wish all our Metro families a happy, healthy, safe, and restful 4th of July weekend! Our Metro Minute Team will be on vacation for the holiday weekend - so be sure to look for the next edition of the Metro Minute on July 12, 2020.
ATHLETIC NEWS

DEAD WEEK:
As you may have heard, the OSSAA did waive the ‘Dead Week’ requirement for Summer 2020. Out of deference to our Metro families—and plans that may already have been in place, we have decided to continue to honor our ‘Dead Week’ this summer for all Metro athletics from grades 7 – 12 during the week of June 27th thru July 5th.
CAMP PATRIOT

This year is proving to be the best summer yet for Camp Patriot. We have a few spots left! Please visit  www.camppatriottulsa.com for full class descriptions, teachers, prices, and to register. Contact Leann Cherry at  lcherry@metroca.com if you have any questions.
