Medford Public Schools

Medford FFA wrapped up the year by attending the 100th Oklahoma FFA State Convention and Expo! Members attended leadership workshops, connected with fellow FFA members from across the state, and celebrated another successful year. During convention, Medford FFA was honored to receive the Hunger Challenge Award and the Chapter Trust Contribution award. A huge thank you goes out to the families who donated pigs at OYE to help make the Hunger Challenge possible. Your generosity and support make a difference in our community and help our chapter continue to give back! Members also had the opportunity to watch our very own Medford FFA member, Joshua Forsyth, perform in the Oklahoma FFA State Chorus during convention! We are proud of our members and all they accomplished this year. 💙💛

Go Cards!!

This week, first grade explored how to earn an income by providing a service and selling crafts. Once money was earned, students had to make a choice of whether to spend it on a pack of Skittles or save up for a popsicle. This experience brought concepts we have been reading about to life.

Congratulations to our State Qualifiers!!!!! State shirts can be ordered online! This is a quick turnaround! Be sure to get yours and come support the Medford Cardinals @ the State Track Meet! https://medfordstatetrack2026.itemorder.com/shop/sale/
