on Tuesday at the Rock Lab
station. Energy Days is a
hands-on event which allows

19 schools took part in this
year’s event, including all
seven elementary schools from
the Bartlesville Public School
District.
Science comes to life for area fifth
graders at annual Energy Days event
A three-day program which attracted approximately
950 fifth grade students to the Bartlesville Community
Center, the 14th Annual Energy Days event concluded
this week.
A hands-on event which allows fifth graders from
throughout the area – including those from each of
the seven elementary schools throughout the Bartlesville Public School District – an opportunity to learn
more about science in a fun environment, Energy Days
spanned from Tuesday through Thursday.
Classes from the 19 schools which took part in the
event were able to spend two hours rotating through the
10 stations that were set up in the Bartlesville Community Center. The stations included Petroleum Scavenger
Hunt, Science of the Underground, Tools of the Trade,
When Oil Meets Water, Your Petroleum IQ, Petroleum
Mix & Match, Rock Lab, Climate & Energy, Hot Spots,
and Alternate Energy.
An estimated 260 volunteers helped Energy Days
– which is offered free of charge to the schools – run
smoothly.
“Everything went very well,” said Becky Hoover, a
former educator who serves as the Energy Days director.
“The reaction we receive from teachers and students
is always very positive. They are thankful that we continue to hold Energy Days every year.”
Plans are already afoot for next year’s program,
which is typically held during the week before or after
spring break.
Hoover helped to create Energy Days after retiring
from the BPSD, where she served 16 years as a teacher
and science specialist. She has directed Energy Days
since its debut in 1997 as part of the Oklahoma Energy
Centennial in Bartlesville. The initial program proved so
popular that Hoover decided to fashion it into an annual
event.
ConocoPhillips serves as the primary sponsor of Energy Days and many of the event’s volunteers are current
and retired employees. Other program sponsors include
Bartlesville AIChE, David L. Greene Inc., the Society of
Petroleum Engineers, the Oklahoma Energy Resources
Board, and Joshi Technologies International Inc.

Young Talent in Oklahoma art contest
The works of several Bartlesville High School
students was recognized recently during the 2011 Young
Talent in Oklahoma art contest which was held in Edmond.
The contest, for which judging was held earlier
this month on the University of Central Oklahoma
campus, is an annual event for youngsters from grades
nine through 12 throughout the state. Special emphasis
is placed on the works of graduating seniors who plan
to continue their education in visual arts at the college
level. Making the contest even more poignant is the
fact that March is recognized throughout the country as
Young Artists Month.
The BHS students entered singles categories in the
areas of drawing, painting, photography, and mixed media. Five youngsters had their respective works selected
to be placed for public view in the University of Oklahoma School of Art’s Lightwell Gallery from March 12
through April 2.
The students were seniors Rachel Adams
(“Let’s Play,” pastel drawing in sepia tones), Shane
Eagen (“Mrs. Martin,” mixed media portrait), Melissa Neel (“Mom’s Kitchen,” pastels on used newspapers) and Alexis Quinn (“Principal Teri Brant,”
portrait in mixed media) as well as junior Allie
Hoppe (“Native American,” tempera resist painting;
and “Study of Hands in Sepia,” colored pencil drawing).
“I work hard in both my gymnastics and art,” notes
Adams. “The hard work has paid off in both.”
The five BHS students – who had six pieces selected among them for the exhibit in all – have all been
invited to the contest’s awards presentation, which is
scheduled for April 2.
The youngsters are all in the BHS class of Jane
Harlow, who is an advanced placement studio art instructor as well as the secondary art department chair

BHS set to host Oklahoma Percussive Arts
Society’s annual festival from April 1-2
The Oklahoma Percussive Arts Society is set to
hold its 2011 Festival on the Bartlesville High School
campus early next month.
The annual festival – which will feature special
guests Michael Burritt, whose specialty is the marimba,
and Lalo Davila, who shines in the area of Latin percussion – is slated from April 1-2 in the Fine Arts Center.
Several of Oklahoma’s most highly regarded high
school and college percussion ensembles are due to perform as well. Among them will be representatives from
the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University
and the University of Arkansas. All events at the festival
are offered free of charge and are open to the public.
Davila is set to hit the stage on the opening day –
Friday, April 1 – of the two-day weekend extravaganza.
He will offer a Latin percussion clinic that afternoon
before joining the Bartlesville Steel Drum Band for a
performance during the evening hours.
The director of percussion studies at Middle Tennessee State University, Davila is an accomplished musician.
He has performed with – among others – the Corpus
Christi Symphony Orchestra, the Nashville Symphony,
Six Pence None The Richer, Clay Walker, Vickie Carr,
Sherry Lewis, The Panhandlers Steel Band, and Max
Carl and the Big Dance. Currently, he performs with several Latin groups including “Orkesta Eme Pe.” Known
as an outstanding clinician and adjudicator, Davila has
conducted clinics throughout the United States, Mexico,
Cuba and Japan. Boasting undergraduate and master’s
degrees in music, he is the author of the book “Contemporary Rudimental Studies and Solos.”
Set to showcase his skills on April 2, Burritt has
been recognized as one of the world’s leading percussion
soloists. He has performed on four continents and is in
frequent demand in Europe, Asia, Australia, Canada and
the United States. Burritt has been featured as a soloist
with the Dallas Wind Symphony, the Omaha Symphony,
the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra, the Eastman Wind
Ensemble, the Ju Percussion Group in Taiwan, the Percussion Art Quartet in Germany, the Amores Percussion
Group in Spain, Peaux of Sweden, and the Tempus Fugit
Percussion Ensemble of Pittsburgh, Pa. He boasts three
solo recordings of his original work.
Burritt currently serves as the professor of percussion and the head of the percussion department at the
Eastman School of Music. He has the distinction of
being just the third person in the storied institution’s
history to hold the position. Prior to his appointment
at Eastman, Burritt was the professor of percussion at
Northwestern University from 1995-2008.
Those seeking more information regarding the Oklahoma Percussive Arts Society’s upcoming 2011 Festival

21st Annual Classified Person of the Year Reception
CLASSIFIED - Continued from Page 1
Wilson and one of the driving forces behind the reception each year.
“After the receptions, I always get a lot of calls and emails from people
wanting to let me know how much they enjoyed it. That’s always a good
sign.”
The Bartlesville Public School District features approximately 850
employees in all. While teachers and administrators are considered certified employees, the classified employees – there are approximately 390
within the district – handle support roles such as receptionists, custodians
and bus drivers. During the annual Classified Person of the Year Reception, the name of each classified employee who attends is registered for
the door prize drawing. And thanks to a wealth of generous sponsors,
everyone always wins something.
The highlight of the event comes when the Classified Person of the
Year is revealed. Each year, prior to the reception, BPSD personnel are
invited to nominate a classified employee for the honor. The nominees are
grouped into seven categories, and after all of the nomination forms have
been tallied, a selection committee chooses the winners in each category.
Among the seven category winners, a Classified Person of the Year is
chosen and then revealed at the annual reception.
This year’s candidates for the BPSD’s Classified Person of the Year
honor are Central Middle School’s Karri Erfurdt (Child Nutrition category), Richard Kane Elementary School’s Jim Walker (Custodial/Maintenance), Madison Middle School’s Lisa Crosthwait (School Assistant),
Hoover Elementary School’s Jacquelyn Smith (School Age Care), Madison’s Dana Elkins (Tech Media/Health Services), Transportation’s Kenny
Jones (Transportation) and Central’s Jerri McCollum and the Education
Service Center’s Mary Ponder, who tied to represent the Administrative
Assistant category.
The 21st Annual Classified Person of the Year Reception is scheduled from 5-6:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 31 in the Community Hall of
the Bartlesville Community Center.
While door prizes are awarded and light fare is served, the reception
is a free event. Serving as the main sponsors of the event are 66 Federal
Credit Union and Arvest Bank. A wide array of area businesses donate
items as door prizes. No district money is spent on the reception.
Jones serves as the master of ceremonies – as she has done for years
– and is always quick with a joke. She is part of the reception’s organizing committee as well, along with Jennifer Kindley, Teresa Gaines, Karen
Fleming, Debbie Leming and Lori Newton.
Special needs bus driver Lois Keene is the district’s reigning Classified
Person of the Year. As part of the honor at last year’s reception, she received
the first-ever Grace Snyder Lowe Award, which honors the memory of the
mother of former Bartlesville Board of Education president Barry W. Lowe.
For years, Lowe served as an anonymous donor, offering a cash prize to the
district’s classified person of the year during the annual reception. Last year,
he decided to turn the anonymous gift into a tribute to his mother.
Service pins will be awarded to classified personnel during the reception and the annual Patoot Award will be handed out also.

will be dimmed in the Community Hall and a special
PowerPoint presentation featuring slides of the Classified Person of the Year nominees will be shown. The
presentation is always met with open arms as it shows the
nominees as children and at different periods during their
respective careers with the district.
Gayle’s career with the district began in 1989. Since that
time, she has done a tremendous job and has gained a great
deal of respect from all of those who have had the privilege of
meeting and working with her. She is part of the foundation of
the district upon which we continue to build a great future.
Gayle is part of an excellent group of classified personnel within the district, highly valued members of the
Bruin family. And though she will soon retire, Gayle will
always be a part of our Bruin family.
Thursday’s event will offer us a fine opportunity to
celebrate each and every one of our classified employees
from throughout the BPSD. I look forward to it.
