a safe and fun Labor Day Weekend! (No School Monday &

Band Preview is Tuesday Sept. 3rd 7pm at Sallee Field |
Dear
Parents,
Today after
school, a teacher reported to the High School Administration that
a student made a threat to blow up the High School building over
the Labor Day Weekend. Immediately the administration called in
the Collinsville Police Department. Most students were already
gone for the day. The police immediately evacuated the remaining
students and staff from the building. With the help of the Tulsa
County Sheriff and the Tulsa Police Department's Canine Sniffing
Unit, the Collinsville Police were able to declare the building
safe and secure. Collinsville Public School's #1 priority is the
safety and security of our students and staff. We took the necessary
precautions to insure just that this afternoon. We would like
to thank the Collinsville Police Department, Tulsa County Sheriff
and the Tulsa Police Department Canine Unit for their quick response
and actions this afternoon.
Have a great
Labor Day Weekend!

Every
summer about this time, High School wrestlers from across the nation
meet in Fargo to find out who is the best and show college coaches
if they can make it at the next level. Its no coincidence that the
same kids earning medals in Fargo are the same ones standing on
the awards platform at their respective state tournaments in the
winter. Collinsville wrestler Gary Wayne Harding, wrestling 132
lbs for team Oklahoma, placed 3rd and helped his Oklahoma team finish
as well a they have in several years. Team Oklahoma, Coached by
Collinsville coach Wes Harding had 9 wrestlers win medals and earn
All-American status. There is truth to the saying "summer wrestlers
make winter champions". -- Jim Riley 7/20/2013 |
