What teachers are saying:

“It’s really pulled some kids out of their shells because they’ve been successful at it.” - Eddie Anglin, special services director, Cottonwood Schools

“We have used the program with students in grades 5-8, and the response has been great. There have been no discipline problems at all, even with students who have a tendency to NOT be the best behaved. I  am  looking forward to incorporating it even  more next year.” - Clint Kissee, technology education instructor, Commerce Middle School

“Students who are not gifted athletically and do not excel in normal physical education activities have ‘blossomed’ through archery, gaining more confidence and self-esteem.” -Shawn Gee, outdoors physical education instructor, Coweta Junior High

“The OAIS program is a tremendous asset to my Special Education students. It not only provides them a lifetime activity but it also gives them an opportunity to compete against athletes without disabilities and still experience success.  I had a student place 11th out of 128 shooters in the state competition." - Irvin Orton, Muskogee Special Education programs
