Elk City teachers took advantage of a professional day on Monday by attending a seminar given by author Dr. Bruce Perry. Elk City Superintendent Rick Garrison says Dr. Perry is an international authority on children in crisis.

Garrison says the school district’s Project Aware Grant program continued the discussion at school sites the next day.

Garrison also reminds the public that the district in association with the Project Aware Grant, will be welcoming author Dr. Chan Hellman, a professor at the University of Oklahoma. Dr. Hellman will be conducting three, free sessions at the Kelli O’Hara Center of Performing Arts on Tuesday, February 25, discussing his book titled “Hope Rising” and how to apply it to everyday life. Garrison said the event is free and open to the public.
