Casady BLUE Week Benefitting Fields & Futures

Feb 25, 2021

Casady BLUE Week Benefitting Fields & Futures

As an independent college preparatory school that promotes academic excellence and reflects the diverse world around us, Casady School is one of Oklahoma City’s most respected educational institutions.

We are excited to announce the Casady School Student Council has chosen Fields & Futures as the beneficiary of their inaugural BLUE Week, a week devoted to raising awareness for local issues and giving back to the city we call home.

BLUE Week stands for “Building Love, Uniting Everyone”. And as their first-ever selected beneficiary, we’re thrilled to see the Casady community embrace and help activate the Fields & Futures mission of building brighter futures for their peers in Oklahoma City Public Schools.

All proceeds from Casady BLUE Week 2021 will help support the students at Southeast Middle School. The Southeast Middle School campus is home to our most recent Pathway to Greatness campus transformation project and sits adjacent to Southern Oaks Park where a new sports complex is currently under construction.

Thank you, Casady School, for your support

What Drives Capitol Hill and U.S. Grant Football?

U.S. Grant and Capitol Hill may be rivals, but their football programs have more in common than their annual "Southside Bedlam" rivalry game. From 2014-2020, the OSSAA allowed both programs to play as independents so they could create their own schedules and rebuild their programs. Now playing in Class 6A, neither team has found success in district play, but they also know the scoreboard isn't the only standard of success.
