Homecoming Returns in 2021
After coronavirus forced the cancelation of homecoming events in 2020, the celebration was back in 2021 and Jeannine Rainbolt College of Education students were front and center in the activities.
Students from Kappa Delta Pi and Aspiring Oklahoma Educators Association gathered the week of homecoming to decorate the cart for the annual homecoming parade. Joined by Dean Stay Reeder and 2021 Oklahoma Teacher of the Year (and JRCoE graduate) Jessica Eschbach, the students handed out hundreds of books to children along the parade route.
