Getting Ready for 2017-18 School Year

Bridgestone Intermediate School in Western Heights Public Schools is hiring for 5th and 6th grade. Please call 405-350-3421 for more information.  We are in SW OKC.  We have an amazingly supportive staff, awesome facilities,  a natural habitat with fishing pond and walking trails, technology resources, and outstanding reading resources due to a new grant we are so excited about!
Contact us if you have an Elementary Certificate or Bachelor's Degree and willing to become emergency certified.  We have so much to offer someone who wants to make a difference in the lives of students! Just in the past few weeks at our school we had a Love Works Inc. camp, 21st Century summer camp, 4H camp, a visit from State Superintendent Hofmeister, field trips for our summer camp students, and we offer a summer feeding program for our students!  Please check out our Facebook Bridgestone Intermediate School, WHPS and our district Facebook Western Heights Public Schools.

Happy Sunday Morning!
