Good morning, Broken Arrow.

Tulsa nurse Myrtle Watson founded Martha's Foundation to help pregnant teens learn life, education and parenting skills—she has supported young women such as Carol, a former teen now board president.

The foundation will hold an anniversary celebration on Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon at Rudisill Library with guest speaker Rick Martin.

Teachers at Union High School were greeted with supportive signs from Asbury Methodist Church members—located at 66th Street and Mingo Road—on Monday morning as they began a training session ahead of the new school year.

Union Public Schools will start classes on August 14th, and this gesture—meant to boost morale—showed appreciation for educators.

Today, the Broken Arrow board of education approved two new safety resource officer positions and three crossing guards to boost school security as students return (partnering with BAPS security) while local police urge drivers to slow down in school zones (reminding everyone to follow safety rules).

Former mayor Craig Thurmond, who served Broken Arrow for two decades and was 71, died at his home last week.

A celebration of his life is held today at 10 a.m. at Broken Arrow Life Church—near Kenosha Street and County Line Road.
