SHAWNEE, OK — The barrels are set, the stakes are high, and over $56,000 in added prize money is up for grabs as the first Shawnee Shootout gallops into the Heart of Oklahoma Expo Center. The four-day event began April 17 and runs through April 20.
Shawnee got the start every soccer team hopes for Tuesday night and it led to the result they needed with a 4-2 win over Durant to improve to 3-1 in district play. Camden Sateren took a pass and drove to the end line, squeezing a shot along the end line and inside the pipe for a goal less than 30 seconds into the match.
Shawnee Forward has been awarded a $200,000 grant from the Oklahoma Partnership for School Readiness (OPSR) as a part of their Preschool Development Grant Birth-to-Five (PDG B-5) initiative to launch “Care to Grow: Childcare Support for Workforce Strength.” This innovative initiative will provide financial relief for working parents while helping local businesses retain talent and strengthen the workforce. With childcare costs and availability remaining a major hurdle for employees and employers alike, Care to Grow aims to bridge the gap.
