Congratulations to Coach Carnes and the girls' powerlifting team on their state meet results from yesterday in Durant. Elsa Tubbesing won the 5th-place medal in her class, and Amaya McFerrin won the 3rd-place medal in her class. Lifters Christi Tubbesing and Harli Alexander came in at 7th place in their classes, just outside of getting medals. As a team, Asher Girls came in 12th place out of 42 teams. Great Job Ladies!
Go Indians!
State Basketball send-off, livestream, and seating for Tonight
Good Morning,
We will be having the Boys Basketball Team, along with our Girls Powerlifting Team, walk the halls for our students at 2:35 today. 2:40 to 2:45, the basketball boys will load the bus, and our students will gather on the front lawn to send the boys off.
For those who would like to livestream the game tonight, you can use the following link to go to the NFHS website, which will be streaming all of the state tournament. There is a monthly subscription fee, and you will have access to the entire tournament. You can cancel after the tournament if you do not want to continue your subscription. Hope that helps!

Seating tonight: Sections 16 and 17 are reserved for the home team. Those sections will be cleared out after the previous game. If you wish to sit in those sections, there is a waiting area on the west side of the arena, behind the "Lorec Lounge". An officer will escort you to those sections and give you instructions on leaving after the game. The rest of the home side is open seating; these instructions are only for those two sections.
GO INDIANS!

The girls won a hard-fought game against Paden tonight, 57 to 51. That means they play again tomorrow at 1:00. Well done, ladies, and well done Coaches. Way to represent Asher.

Brynlee won the OERB Well Site Safety poster contest for the 3rd through 6th grade division, sponsored by Oklahoma Oil & Natural Gas. Brynlee has been invited to the Capitol on Thursday, March 26th. There will be a Poster Presentation at 9:30 on the 2nd floor rotunda, and an Award Ceremony at 10:00. Well done, Brynlee, and well done, Mrs. Malorie Riggle, for encouraging her.
Way to represent Asher Elementary!
Attached is a map of the construction areas around the Mvskoke Dome in Okmulgee. The main entrance is closed, but they have marked alternate routes to enter the complex. I am also told that sometimes it's hard to search for that name on certain map apps. Searching Claude Cox Complex will get you there if Mvskoke Dome doesn't come up.
Girls at 6:00 Thursday, Boys at 7:30 Friday. $10 at the gate, or $8 and change on GoFan.
See you there!
Here is the bracket for the JH Red, White, & Blue Tournament in Wynnewood next Monday, March 2nd.

Here are our Student of the Month Pictures from October, November, December, and January. They have had their certificates for some time; now it's time for some recognition. Congratulations Indians!
We are planning for school to be in session tomorrow, January 29th. However, we are watching the weather closely; if things change, we will let you know as soon as possible.
ELEMENTARY PARENTS - We suggest you drop your students off in front of the main building and let them enter through those doors. We will have them unlocked. The side streets are less traveled and are still slushy.
As for games: tomorrow night's middle school games with Roff are cancelled. Saturday's High School games with Konawa have been moved to Roff. The boys will play Sasakwa at 12:30, and girls will play Quinton right after. Again, those games are Saturday at Roff.
Have a great evening, we hope to see you tomorrow!
Go Indians!
The roads are still not great, so we will use our last planned Virtual Day for Wednesday, January 28th. We hope to be back on Thursday, weather and roads permitting.
Have a Great Evening
Go Indians!
