Dear Cherokee Chief Families,
At Cherokee Public Schools, we understand that the ongoing government shutdown has caused
unexpected financial challenges for many families. Please know that you are not alone — our
school community is here to help ensure that every child continues to receive healthy, nutritious
meals each day.
If your family has been affected by reduced work hours, loss of income, or temporary financial
strain, you may qualify for free or reduced-price school meals. These supports are available
to help your child stay nourished and focused during the school day.
We encourage you to reach out and apply — our staff is ready to assist with any questions. Your
privacy will always be respected, and applying does not affect your child’s standing at school in
any way.
Together, we’ll continue to care for and support one another through this time.
Thank you,
Cherokee Public Schools

❤️ The "Cherokee Power Pack" took home 1st place in the 8th grade division at the Co-Opreneur competition today! 👏👏Congratulations to Aubree, Montana, Case & Colton!! Thank you to Mr Pruett for taking our students to the contest today! This morning students from across the state watched presentations about co-ops and entrepreneurship and then were given a need that a co-op could fill. Students developed a business plan to solve the problem and then presented that plan to a panel of judges. Co-Opreneur Day is designed to develop and explore business development, STEM, economic, leadership, and entrepreneurship skills. This program is hosted in cooperation with the Oklahoma Council on Economic Education and the Oklahoma Association of Electric Cooperatives.
