Bean Supper By: Ian Cummings
Thanks to all of the loyal supporters and hard working volunteers, we have been able to host our 34th annual Bean Supper and Pie Auction on Friday, February 26. All proceeds from the Bean Supper went toward the school’s general fund. The Bean Supper was held at the Mayes County Fairgrounds in Pryor. The total money raised from this Bean Supper was over $25,000 from the 136 items donated and eighty-four bidders present.
The highest selling item was a quilt, which sold for over $850. The second highest
selling item was a knife made by the junior high and high school math teacher, Mr. Mulanax, which sold for $525. Each class made an item for the live auction. The K3 class made a wall decoration made of pallets with their handprints on it, which sold for $100. The K4 class made a large frame with each student's picture on it, which sold for $100. The K5 class made painted pots and planted flowers in them, which sold for $320. The first grade made
a wall decor that read “HOME” in big letters, which sold for $45. The second grade made their hands photographed in a shape of a heart with a verse inside, which sold for $50. The third and fourth grade made a wooden bench, which sold for $420. The fifth and sixth grade made a wooden council table, which sold for $250, as well as a sink planter, which sold for $260.

For quite some time, Bradford has planned to build a new building. With the
help of a recent donation for this project, the school now has the funds to begin. According to the blueprints,
this 12,000 sq. ft. building will contain offices and classrooms. It will also have a cafe and a gymnasium. In addition,
because of the indoor gym, the school will be able to host home games and tournaments.
”I’m most excited about having our own home games,” commented Caleb Henington (8).

State Basketball By: Max Parker
On Monday, February 22, all the students lined up to cheer the varsity teams who were being escorted out of town by the Pryor Police for their state basketball playoffs in McAlester. The girls played against Lakewood Christian. The boys played against Claremore Christian.
“I learned that you should never hold back and have no regrets, just send it,” stated Solomon Sawyer (8), Sadly, both teams lost and were sent home because it was a single-elimination tournament.
New Sports By: Gabby Robinson and Kaitlin Rouell
For the first time Bradford has joined a co-op program with the Claremore Christian baseball team. Four students from Bradford now play baseball with Claremore Christian School: Caleb Henington (8), Tex Passmore (8), Ian Cummings (8), and Jess Stipes (10) . Since they are playing with Claremore Christian School they practice in Claremore four days during the school week, along with other members of the team. Two ways that baseball benefits a player are “it teaches the player both teamwork and communication skills,” replied Ian Cummings (8).
The athletics director, Coach Walker, formed a 7th-12th grade soccer team. The co-ed players are: Mary Lee (#54), Lauren Rouell (#29), and Jayden Pineda (#20) in seventh grade; Max Parker (#33), Ally Parker (#8), Isabella Williams (#17), and Kaitlin Rouell (#11) in eighth grade; Andrew Calico (#5), Ian Crehan (#2), Pacie Parker (#14), Lani Phillips (#1), and Megan Rogers (#21) in tenth grade; Nancy Grybowski (#0) and Aubrianne Gantz (#15) in eleventh grade. In the first scrimmage, the Bradford players were up against Tahlequah, ending with a score of 0-0. “ Soccer is a sport that is beneficial because of the lessons it teaches you in the long run. This includes discipline, dignity, teamwork, perseverance, and decision making.” Kaitlin Rouell explained.

RSU
By: Gabby Robinson
On Thursday, March 4th, Andrew Delaney, a college recruiter, spoke to the sophmores and juniors about the benefits of Roger State University in Claremore. “He first introduced himself, then had everyone share their name, grade, and a general idea of what they want to do.” described Lani Phillips (10). Then he mentioned some possible careers to pursue. He gave materials about finances, courses available, as well as housing options for life on campus. He also mentioned some of the options for meal plans. “I am excited to go to RSU because he made campus life sound great,” commented Pacie Parker (10).
