TWO DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE (DOJ) GRANTS AWARDED TO MARYETTA SCHOOL Maryetta School in Stilwell, Oklahoma is proud to announce that it was named the recipient of two Department of Justice Grants for school safety. The “Bridges” Grant was awarded in the amount of $732, 000 and the “Proactive Preventive Prepared (P3) Community Project” was funded in the amount of $738,000. Both multi-year grants will allow for professional development for school staff, teachers and community partners. Also, the grants will ensure safety and mental health staff to be hired, Emergency Medical Responders to be trained within the school, and allow the school to fully train school health and safety officers for trauma or crisis prevention. Thank you to all our community partners (Stilwell Police Department, Stilwell Fire Department, Adair County Sheriff Dept., Adair Co Health Dept., Mid-County Volunteer Fire, Cherokee Nation Marshall Service, Cherokee Nation Healthy Nation, Adair Co Boys & Girls Club, KiBois Program, Adair Co Emergency Management, Stilwell ICTC, Stilwell OSU Extension Services and the Oklahoma State Department of Education) for aiding in securing these funds!

School Nurse selected for CDC program! Project SWITCH has selected Maryetta Public Schools School Nurse, Amanda Bellamy, to be one of 14 school nurses in the state to participate in a CDC leadership program designed to assist schools in adjusting to the challenges of COVID-19. According to Beverly Burk, RN, President of the School Nurse Organization of Oklahoma, Project SWITCH (Strengthening Wellness and Improving Teachers and Children’s Health) is a one-year supplemental program from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) with the goal of providing training and assistance to schools on the implementation of the CDC’s COVID-19 school-based guidance in the areas of physical activity, chronic disease management, social emotional climate, nutrition services, and supporting high risk/vulnerable populations. As part of the project, Mrs. Bellamy will attend monthly meetings and receive additional trainings. A region of the state will be assigned to each member of Project SWITCH, and nurses like Amanda Bellamy will conduct virtual Communities of Practice meetings to disseminate CDC information and provide professional support to individuals at other schools in the region.

Once the report is made, it goes directly to Administration and the Counseling team, and is followed up on immediately. 3rd-8th grade teachers have been given this information to share with their students. All students have been informed not to download the app to their smartphone or device without the consent of their caregiver. The code to download the app is 2285.
