@OklaChildAdv honored Lou as our Individual Advocate of the Year in 2018, and I am so thankful we had that opportunity to recognize her. Dr. Bob Long did a great job leading the memorial today and Steven Kerr shared a tribute that did not leave many dry eyes in the room.
.@OklaChildAdv CEO @JoeD4OK describes the issues that are preventing teachers from being able to implement valuable civic education in their classrooms in this @TheOklahoman_ column: bit.ly/4cuRrqi
Always happy to support the good work at OICA!
It's #WorldOralHealthDay. More than 1/3 of all OK children younger than age 6 with working parents had a parent with a nontraditional work schedule. Today's child advocate is Labor Commissioner Leslie Osborn. Our featured partner is calmwaters.org.
Merry Christmas from Chief Gary Batton and the Choctaw Nation! We hope you all have a happy holiday surrounded by family and filled with blessings.
@LegalAidSvcs_OK received a federal grant & @OklaChildAdv is partnering with them to raise awareness about SoonerCare for families who might qualify. I am thankful that collaborative efforts like this can happen in our state & help families who need that assistance.
@LegalAidSvcs_OK @OklaChildAdv One more day of mailings to go, and a few deliveries by our team to the larger school districts. If you know a family who might qualify, please direct them to myokplan.org #JDthanks365
Team members from @OklaChildAdv delivered over several days to larger school districts around the state, where it would have been too costly to mail. All of this work for myokplan.org will certainly help many school-age children get signed up for SoonerCare in Ok
@OklaChildAdv The grant covers 20 counties, but if you have a school that might want to distribute these brochures, please let us know & we can print more in the next run, pending funding.
@OklaChildAdv I received a call from a school district today letting me know they had arrived & would be distributed ASAP. Thankful that we do what we can w/ the funds that are available & that @LegalAidSvcs_OK got this grant and is letting us work with them on this mission! #JDthanks365
Last year, @OklaChildAdv partnered with @CTDemocracyCtr bring the award-winning @KidGovernor civics program to Oklahoma, and Inasmuch Foundation leaders had the opportunity to hear more about this innovative program at the 2nd Annual Kid Governor Reception on October 3. 🧵 1/3
@OklaChildAdv @CTDemocracyCtr @KidGovernor As part of this program, 5th graders across the state nominate candidates for @OKKidGovernor and vote in a statewide election. Meanwhile, teachers use provided lesson plans to help students explore the role of state government and the importance of civic participation. 🧵 2/3
@OklaChildAdv @CTDemocracyCtr @KidGovernor @OKKidGovernor @OKKidGovernor candidates are tasked with identifying issues that impact their communities and crafting platforms to address those issues. The student who receives the most votes serves a one-year term as Oklahoma's Kid Governor. Learn more at ok.kidgovernor.org. 🧵 3/3
