Jones Public Schools would like to thank Oklahoma County District 1 Commissioner, Carrie Blumert for coming out and visiting with our two young students going through the process to be nominated to the AIr Force Academy and West Point. They had discussions about the rigorous process to get in to these Universities, why they chose to put themselves through this process and what they plan to do with this education. Our hope is since they both want to be in aviation field is that they return to Oklahoma after their military service and become part of the Aviation field right here in Eastern Oklahoma County. Again, Thank you, District 1 County Commissioner, Carrie Blumert.
Pictured are Layna Solorzano-West Point Candidate, Carrie Blumert-District 1 County Commissioner, and Abigail Stramski-Air Force Academy Candidate.

Easton/NFAA Scholarship Program
The NFAA Scholarship Committee will review and rank the applications, place each applicant into the appropriate category and present their suggestions to the Joint Scholarship Approval Committee for their approval. The Joint Scholarship Approval Committee, consisting of two Directors of the National Field Archery Association Foundation and two Directors of the Easton Foundations, will make a joint decision on winners and the final amounts for each scholarship.
The NFAA National Office will notify all applicants if their application was denied or approved, and the amount of the scholarship. If approved, it will also describe the procedure for the scholarship payment.
For all scholarships greater than $500, the recipient will receive an Archery Activity Report form that must be completed and sent to the NFAA National Office twice a year, showing their archery activities during the year.
Applicant Requirements
The maximum amount of all scholarships for the first three years will be $50,000 per year. The goal is to provide 50% of the scholarships to recurve archers and 50% to compound archers. A secondary goal will be to split the scholarships equally between men & women.
Applicants must be a member of the NFAA or the NAA/USA Archery.
Applicants that are not graduating from high school in the current year (JOAD, NASP, junior high, or high school freshman/sophomore archers) may apply.
For this group, any approved scholarships will be held by the Foundation until the student notifies the Foundation they are graduating from high school, and the name of the qualified school they plan to attend.
High school applicants must be applying to be full time students at a two or four year college/university or a technical training college (these are considered qualified schools).
Applicant must maintain a 2.0 GPA minimum on a 4.0 scale in the current year.
College applicants must be full time students at either a two or four year college or university.
Applicant must maintain a 2.5 GPA minimum on a 4.0 scale in the current year.

The National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) invites all high school students (9th through 12th grades) interested in the American Revolution to participate in the George S. & Stella M. Knight Essay Contest. The contest is open to all US Citizen and Legal Resident students attending home schools, public, parochial, or private high schools in that same grade range. The National Association of Secondary School Principals has placed this program on the 2017-18 NASSP List of Approved Contests, Programs, and Activities for Students.
To participate, students must submit an original 800- to 1,200-word essay based on an event, person, philosophy or ideal associated with the American Revolution, Declaration of Independence, or the framing of the United States Constitution. Each student’s essay will be judged based upon its historical accuracy, clarity, organization, grammar and spelling, and documentation.
The contest is conducted in three phases: the local chapter, state-level society, and national phases. The contest must be entered through an SAR chapter near the student’s residence. In some cases, the contest may be entered at the state level (if the local society does not have chapters or the chapters are not participating) and a contact-at-large should be used to find out more contest details. The list of contest contacts listed below can provide you with assistance in entering the Knight Essay Contest. Only one entry per student is permitted per contest year.
