  Speaker 2: to Oklahoma Tax Credit, which is basically your tax dollars
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: at work to choose your education, your child's education, and
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: what we like to say is you're choosing a biblical
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: foundation for a lifelong mission. Basically, we're discipling these kids
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: to walk with Christ as they leave our school and
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: also doing an outstanding job of reading and arithmetic as well.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I'd say you've got a little bit of a big
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: to do. Comeback for the alumni, don't you. Oh?
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: Yes, September twenty fifth and twenty sixth, we're going to
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: have a big fiftieth anniversary celebration. Twenty fifth is going
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: to be like a golf tournament, and which who doesn't

  Speaker 1: My god.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: The twenty six is also we're celebrating. It's going to
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: be some alumni events and it'll be an awesome time.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: So we hope the community joins us for that.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: That's going to be great. And I know that some
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: of the ones who have been away from school a
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: little bit are going to notice the new editions that
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: they haven't been back in town to visit on the
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: writ and regular Yeah.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're still actually active in those new editions. We
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: did construction the last two.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Years and we're going to do a little bit more.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: This year, kind of revamping, getting remodeling some of our
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: bigger rooms to give us more office space and people
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: around a little bit. But for the first time ever,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: we're gonna have almost all of our classes under the
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: same roof, and we have some of the older senior
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: classes in the basement still, but for the most part,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: everybody's into that one roof and we're really.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Excited about that. Oh yeah.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Our preschool program will be on the back side of
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: the school on the east entrance there, and we'll have
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: two year old program, three year old program, and then
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: the primary grades are down there as well, with kindergarten
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: and pre k down there.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: So you know, the little ones, they get a big
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: kick because you know they're they're just learning to talk
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: and they can tell Auntie and uncahol school, Yeah, I'm
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: going to school exactly. And they dig it. They would
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: give them something to do and they accidentally learn things
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: while they're having fun. I like that. Yeah, that's got
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: to be like a big old happy family out there.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: It is. It is. We're you know, in.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: The process of having family interviews and talking to people
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: every day about the application process.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: It's not hard.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: You just go to our website and fill out the
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: application and then it directs you to the OTC and
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: it's not it's not hard at all. The average I
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: think the average the OTC tax credit for a student
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: is about seven seven thousand dollars and the average cost
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: is about ninety five hundred per student. So not too
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: bad for private, private school education, Christian education.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Well, i'd say, how the families when they come in,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I know that they're just dying again. They're hoping first
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: of all to get a spot.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah yeah.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Second of all, they see what's going on, they see
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: how the other students perhaps are conducting themselves, and they
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: already know pretty much. They made the right choice.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we have spots in most classes available. There's a
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: few that are getting getting full, and we have a
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: little bit of a waiting list, but most classes are
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: still available.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, great, Now, first things first, they can give you
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: a call. I like to do it the old fashioned way,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: like the call scheduled interview, but other folks they like
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: to kind of you their homework first, and they like
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: to do the website. So you got a real easy
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: website too. Yeah.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, if you go to Wesleyan Christian School dot com.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah, and I can remember that. I know,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: you can.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: Apply, could schedule a tour. The scheduling a tour is
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: awesome because then you can see like what the kids
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: are experiencing and what your kids will be doing.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: And it's a really great thing.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Oh my heavens. It's well laid out. I will tell
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: you I've been on the side a few times. It's
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: easy to navigate. You're not gonna get lost, you're not
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: gonna go where was I where you know? Point click,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: you're there. And if you go to the tax credit
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: page too, that's very self explanatory.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, user friendly. They've done a good job with that.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Now, graduation is coming up, and it seems like you're
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: the first school usually in the area that lets them
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: lets them out, and it's kind of a custom. And
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I've gone through the last i think four or five
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: graduations there and every one of them, every one of
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: them is just a celebration. Yeah, yeah, it really and
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: it's fun and you really realize just how well the
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: teachers and the students know each other. That that closeness
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: is really good and it pays off.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, small, small family atmosphere is very evident when you
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: come to that graduation and the kids have the same
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: teachers over and over again as from their freshman year on.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: The relationships are built really well there and that that's
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: what helps us lay that foundation we were talking about earlier.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: One of the things to get a kick out of.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: But the graduation is you know, the friendly little you know,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: equips they have with each other. You know, you wouldn't
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: be too unusual they have one of the students speakers
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden let one out on one of
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the teachers who've been there a while, and not too
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: unusual for one of the teachers or staff or administrators
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: to do a couple of students and everybody just laughs
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: and they're all in on it. So it's like it's
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: no big secret, nobody's nobody's airing laundries. But that's a
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: kind of good family atmosphere that I was talking about.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: It is we have fun now. You also have all
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: kinds of different extracurricular activities. So for folks who are wondering, okay,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: is a private school just at a school, Wesley and
• 7:44
