Broken Bow FFA Officer Retreat Our Officer Team just wrapped up an incredible few days of growth, planning, and teamwork! They spent time learning more about themselves, building stronger connections with one another, and mapping out our Program of Activities for the year ahead. The result? Fresh, exciting ideas to make this year’s events bigger and better than ever — and meaningful plans to serve our chapter and community in new ways. A highlight of the retreat was collaborating with the Jenks FFA Chapter, sharing ideas and inspiration to help make this school year one to remember! #builtontraditionboundforgreatness

🍎Hey there 👋🏼 My name is Blaize Bothe and I am your new 7th grade English teacher at RJMS! This is not entirely new to me as I have been teaching English to middle schoolers for eight years! I attended the University of Central Oklahoma, earning an M.A. in English. Although I did not set out to become an educator, I quickly realized that a classroom is where I belong. My favorite part of being a teacher is the daily wins with students; seeing a young person’s eyes ignite with understanding for the first time is what keeps me coming back year after year. When I’m not on campus, you can find me hanging out with my dogs, riding my skateboard, or completing my wife’s “honey-do” list.

Summer Pride workouts are coming to an end and our Savages are preparing to begin practices for the upcoming season opener against McAlester just three weeks away. This week, five players are recognized by the coaching staff as examples of the Broken Bow Way. Jaxson Price, Jolson Goss, Ty'Zaun Murphy, Christian Farley and Brody Tehauno are our Savages of the week! Please help us congratulate and encourage these young men to continue leading by example. Our future is Savage Strong! #GoSavages #ChampionshipMindset

My family and I are excited to join the Savage family!

🍎Hi everyone! I’m Kylie Williams and I am so excited to be joining the Bennett Elementary family as a 3rd grade teacher! For the past four years, I’ve had the privilege of teaching 4th grade, and I’ve truly loved every minute of it. Being a teacher is more than just a job for me, it’s a calling and a passion. I love watching students grow, helping them discover their strengths, and being part of their journey every step of the way. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy spending quality time with my wonderful husband and our sweet son, who keeps life fun and full of energy. I’m also a proud Christian and strive to lead with kindness, patience, and love in everything I do. I can’t wait for a great year ahead at Bennett Elementary! See you soon!

🎓ATTENTION SENIORS

🍎Hello! My name is Misti Lyles, and I am excited to join the team as the new art teacher! I began my teaching journey in the fall of 1986, and over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with many wonderful people and teaching a diverse array of students. Teaching has truly been a rewarding career for me. After retiring in 2015 to open a local bicycle shop with my husband, we sadly had to close it in the fall of 2020. During that time, I wrote a children’s book titled “Murry in a Hurry” and managed an office at the hospital. However, I quickly realized that I needed to return to the job that God designed me for—teaching! I came back to the classroom three years ago, and coming to teach in Broken Bow Schools feels like coming home. My husband and I are proud parents of four hardworking children and have nine precious grandchildren, whom we love spending time with. We attend First Baptist Church in Idabel, where my husband manages sound, and I sing with the praise team. In my free time, I enjoy long motorcycle trips, challenging bicycle rides, quiet moments reading my Bible, and listening for new birds with my Merlin App. I look forward to a fantastic year filled with creativity, inspiration, and lots of fun in the art room!

🍎Hello! My name is Mecca Wortham, and I am thrilled to introduce myself as the new 3rd grade teacher here at Bennett Elementary for Broken Bow Public Schools! I hold a Bachelor of Elementary Education from SOSU and have been a certified teacher for 16 wonderful years—spending 5 of those years as a substitute while pursuing my degree. Originally from Houston, Texas, and raised in Dallas, I’m excited to bring my passion for teaching to this vibrant community. I’ve been happily married to my amazing husband for 24 years, and together, we are the proud parents of four wonderful children and the delighted grandparents of three lovely grandchildren, with one more on the way! In my free time, I love cycling, cooking, and nurturing my faith. I can’t wait to meet all of my new students and their families, and I look forward to a fantastic year filled with learning, growth, and lots of fun!
