School is back in session but before kicking off a new year, OG&E employees hosted 13 school supply drives across our service area to distribute essential supplies to kids and teachers. Additionally, the OGE Energy Corp. Foundation donated $2,500 to each district.

"By investing in education, we invest in the future," said Kelli Hayward Walsh, Manager Community Outreach & Engagement. "These funds will equip students with essential supplies, fostering an environment where learning thrives."

The following districts received donations:

• Bristow
• Coyle
• Fargo-Gage
• Glencoe
• Ft. Smith, Arkansas
• Healdton
• Madill
• Pioneer-Pleasant Vale
• Poteau

OG&E employees volunteered to deliver supplies and enjoyed engaging with educators and students at each school district. This initiative highlights OG&E's dedication to our communities and our commitment to energizing education.
