The A.N.T. competed in the Green Country Regional on April 8-9. Despite suffering from a broken arm during three matches, the team still managed to end as the 12th-ranked team and the 7th seed alliance captain. They lost in the quarterfinals to the #2 seed alliance which ended the season. Thank you to all who came to watch and support them during the competition. Now we turn our attention to spreading the fun and importance of STEM education. We will be doing robot demonstrations for elementary classes as we encourage them to have fun with their STEM learning. We look forward to completing our t-shirt launcher to use at Adair events as we continue to spread the importance and fun of STEM learning.

Congratulations to this week's winners! Pictured from left to right, back row: Luke Baglio-2nd grade Mrs. Buell, Wade Palmer-2nd grade Mrs. Buell, Jace Turley-3rd grade Mrs. Long.

The number of students participating in college and career readiness courses is on the rise, with many students choosing to participate in these courses while in high school as a cost-saving measure. However, early participation does much more than save money – students who participate in college and career readiness programs early are more likely to finish their programs. While these programs can be costly for families, the Oklahoma 529 College Savings Plan can help pay for books, fees and other costs associated with college or career training programs.

What is an Oklahoma 529 College Savings Plan?

Introduced in April 2000, the Oklahoma 529 College Saving Plan (OCSP) is designed for families who want to open and manage their own 529 college savings accounts. As of December 31, 2021, assets in in the plan exceeded $1.25 billion.

Families can open an Oklahoma 529 College Savings Plan and begin making deposits, saving on taxes in the process. Deposits made to a new or existing OCSP account through the April 18 tax filing deadline may be eligible for a 2021 state income tax deduction on contributions of up to $20,000 for joint filers.

Once the students is ready to begin taking college or career training courses, families can begin drawing from their savings accounts.

Funds saved in OCSP accounts may be used for:

• Apprenticeship costs
• College and university tuition and fees
• Concurrent enrollment tuition and fees
• CareerTech tuition and fees

For more information about the Oklahoma 529 College Savings Plan, view an upcoming webinar.

To open an account, visit ok4saving.org or (877) 654-7284.

The 2022-23 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) launched at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. New and returning students who plan to attend college between July 1, 2022, and June 30, 2023, should complete the FAFSA as soon as possible. To assist students and parents in the process, the Department’s Federal Student Aid (FSA) office has been sharing tips @FAFSA, including “7 Things You Need Before Filling Out the FAFSA Form” and “8 Steps to Completing the FAFSA Form.”
