Please Welcome ERIC SOWELL to the WARRIOR FAMILY!
Eric actually joined us during last school year, but he did not yet get his warm welcome from us.
Eric is always happy to do any variety of tasks, including maintenance and custodial. He has always been a member of the Warrior Family, having attended during his childhood and graduated from Shady Point. Eric now raises his own 3 Little Lady Warriors who currently attend.
He said he enjoys working here because this environment is so family oriented, and he has never worked in a job that coworkers got along so well and had so much fun.
Please WELCOME to the WARRIOR FAMILY:
Farrah Brown
Cafeteria & Custodial
…Farrah Mae Sue Brown (Taylor) “Lou” (Western Sizzlin Nicknamed back in the day) Farrah Lou.
I graduated Heavener in 1996. Yes. Back in the 1900’s. I LOVE kids and look out for them!!! When I see them hurt or struggling, I will do my best to help them!!! I will not let them leave the cafeteria hungry! I will not let them sleep on a dirty floor! I am a clean freak when it comes to my job and the sanitation for the kids.
Both of my kids have been a part of Shady Point School. I’m just excited to do great at my job at Shady Point School, just like I did at Panama School!
Please WELCOME to our WARRIOR FAMILY:

More pictures from today. Congratulations to Mr. Dan. When it came to naming the building there was only one that came to mind.
On Monday, May 15th, at 1:00 PM, Shady Point schools will dedicate their new Safe Room. We will have a small presentation and hope everyone can attend.
Parents and other members of the public are invited to attend. This building would not be possible without their help in passing the school bond last spring. We appreciate their support and welcome them to campus to participate in the event.
Unfortunately, we cannot open the building to the public yet. But we will open the building to the public later in the summer and have an open house in the fall when we return to school.
On Monday, we will also be revealing to whom the building is dedicated and taking time to honor that individual as well.
We appreciate the public’s support of the school and look forward to their attendance at the dedication.
We celebrate Teacher Appreciation week May 1st - 5th. Yes we know it was early. We could not wait. All week, they will enjoy this private area to get away and enjoy lunch, while their cafeteria duty is covered. Monday breakfast was provided. Tuesday was stress free day. Chocolate and a massage therapist was provided. Wednesday was Hump day and the teachers were treated to coffee from The Coffee Cup and Donuts. Thursday was May the 4th be with you. Drinks were provide by the Tolbert Family and Hold Funeral and Cremation, GINORMOUS Donuts by Jame and Mayr Sisco, and the district provided sonic drinks and Star Wars items including inflatable lightsabers. Friday was Cinco De Mayo and we celebrated teaches with a Buffet of Street tacos.
