Remembering the Past … Looking to the Future Residents Invited to Special Event at Garfield

As they prepare to move to their new school next fall, Garfield Elementary students are hosting a special tribute for their current building, located at 900 E. Broadway.

Principal Kathy Edson and Garfield students will present “Farewell Old Friend” May 21 from 12:30-2:30 p.m. The come-and-go event will feature music by Garfield students on the front steps, tours of the building and refreshments. Renderings, photos and color boards of the new Garfield school will also be on display.

“This is an exciting time for our community,” Superintendent Shawn Hime said. “We hope Enid residents will join us for this event, and we extend a special invitation to former Garfield students, teachers, parents and friends.”

Garfield has been in its current location since 1919. Next year, students will move to their newly constructed building at the corner of 7^th Street and Elm.

The new school, built for 650 students, will feature a first-class library, cafeteria and gymnasium, as well as the latest amenities for 21^st-century learning.

A community open house will be hosted this summer at the new school.

Mark Keefer

Mark was born not in Enid, America but rather Okeene. At a very young age, his family transplanted to Enid and he has lived his entire life here except for a 4 year stint in the Kansas City area. Mark was brought up listening to the jets roar overhead and sight of wheat trucks hauling in the harvest to some of the world's largest grain elevators. Mark strongly believes in Enid's potential and is currently raising his family here based on that belief. He also still believes in Santa Claus so take that for what it's worth
