Don’t Let ‘School’ Lunch Stress You Out: Tips and Ideas from Brainly’s Parenting Expert

If you have not prepared your children’s lunches ahead, they might not have enough time to eat before their next virtual class. It is also important to remember that lunch is not the end of a homeschool day. Lunch is the midpoint.

“If you fill them up with empty carbs and sugar they aren’t able to learn from 1-3 p.m. It also makes things like ‘quiet reading time’ a bit of a struggle,” explains Brainly’s parenting expert, Patrick Quinn.

Here are just a few ideas for healthy lunches:
1. Sandwich kabobs.
2. Trail mix.
3. Homemade chips.
4. Bite-sized cucumber sandwiches.
5. Energy bites.

Mick Cornett on the state of football season

by The 100 Companies
written by The 100 Companies

Mick Cornett speaks on what the 2020 football season may look like five months after COVID-19 hit Oklahoma.

The first week of summer has begun and questions linger about the status of football. Will there be a season, and if so, what precautions will be put into place?

The high school season is set to return the last Friday of August. On the collegiate level, one can expect football to proceed as normal, as in-person classes are expected to take place on campus in the fall.

Players could have new safety protocols and for fans, the stands may look different. In fact, in 1918 people wore masks to the games in order to cheer on their favorite teams!

written by The 100 Companies

The highly anticipated Omni Hotel and Convention Center will open in Oklahoma City later this year. These grand openings will bring an increased need for additional parking in this area.

Flying under the radar to help this influx is the construction of a new parking garage on the corner of E.K. Gaylord and Oklahoma City Boulevard.

This project was awarded to Manhattan Construction at a competitive cost bid in August 2019 and broke ground in October 2019. It will be completed in fall 2020, in conjunction with the Convention Center, to help alleviate parking and traffic concerns in the area.

Mick talks MAPS 4 and Thunder Win

by The 100 Companies
written by The 100 Companies

I’m old enough to remember voting for MAPS in 1993. Ron Norick was the mayor. I didn’t know him well but he seemed like a good, honest guy.

That first MAPS passed with 53% of the vote. Today, few people will admit to voting against it because, eventually, it changed everything. As I voted to pass it, I admitted to friends that, of all the MAPS projects, the idea of building a canal in that abandoned warehouse district called Bricktown seemed crazy.

But fast forward 26 years to today, Bricktown has 7 million annual visitors. Guess it turned out okay.

His goal is to bring Oklahoma to the world and the world to Oklahoma. The governor identifies areas where Oklahoma can compete with his enthusiastic, contagious attitude: “We can do it. We will do it. I expect us to do it!”

A deeper dive into MAPS 4 with Mick Cornett

by
written by

Last issue, I wrote a MAPS 4 Q&A. For this issue, I wanted to look deeper into the initiative.

So, this is MAPS 4?

Yes, the original MAPS was approved by voters in 1993. Maps for Kids, passed in 2001, rebuilt the Oklahoma City Public Schools system and included money for suburban districts. MAPS 3 was passed in 2009.

Is MAPS 4 downtown focused?

No, the intention of the original MAPS was to invest in the urban core. Previous MAPS initiatives spent millions of dollars outside the city core. MAPS 4 will likely spend even more throughout the city.

A reason to celebrate Easter

written by

Families celebrate Easter in many ways. Dyeing eggs, filling bright-colored baskets with chocolate bunnies, hiding eggs for the entertaining egg hunt and posing with the Easter Bunny.

In all the family festivities, and it is important to spend time with family and friends, Crossings Community Church Senior Pastor Marty Grubbs reminds us of the reason why we celebrate Easter.

Hundreds of churches will welcome you to their Easter services. Or, be adventurous and take a family journey to Lawton for the Holy City of the Wichitas Easter Passion Play, the longest running passion play drama in the U.S. since 1926.

Having this one trait will make you influential

by
written by

We’ve got the secret to success. No joke.

Almost everyone likes a person with a good sense of humor. Studies even show humorous people are more successful and are more likely to be in positions of influence.

Humor is associated with high emotional intelligence and cognitive ability. People who have a positive humor style are also often good communicators and successful conflict resolvers. Funny people appear confident and competent, therefore increasing their status among peers.

But before you order that joke book on Amazon to memorize over the weekend, watch our video for tips on how you can realistically use humor to increase your status and gain influence.

Oklahoma Turnpike Authority: Drive aware, arrive alive

by
written by

When it comes to driving safety, there’s no room for mistakes on Oklahoma’s roads, highways and turnpikes.

Distracted driving and passenger safety are critical issues facing Oklahoma and should concern everyone. The Oklahoma Highway Safety Office reported that vehicle crashes were responsible for 628 deaths in 2016.

The Oklahoma Turnpike Authority (OTA) wants to see these numbers decline as many of these fatalities and collisions are preventable. Safe driving is the responsibility of anyone who operates a vehicle, and OTA wants drivers to take every precaution to give everyone on the road the best chance of reaching their destination safely.

History behind St. Patrick’s Day

by
written by

Celebrated on March 17 in observance of the death of the patron saint of Ireland, St. Patrick’s Day is full of shamrocks, leprechauns and green galore.

After having a vision of an Irish man who was in search of finding faith, St. Patrick became a priest and was sent to preach the Gospel in Ireland. He converted thousands and used the shape of a shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity.

St. Patrick’s Day became a holiday in the 17th century and has grown into a celebration of Irish culture filled with parades, music, dancing and a whole lot of green!

Throw me something, mister!

by
written by

Special thanks to Hoss Communications for its work on this film.

Beads of every size, shape and color are a quintessential part of Mardi Gras. Krewes gleefully throw them to parade-goers, who wear their colorful catches like badges of honor.

Rex and other early Mardi Gras revelers popularized the use of throws. By the late 1800s, krewes tossed handmade glass beads from Czechoslovakia. Plastic beads, manufactured in China, rose to popularity in the 1960s, when producing glass beads became costly.

Today’s modern beads are larger and more intricate, many featuring lights and medallions. With 5 million beads thrown each year, you’re bound to catch a pair (or armful!) worth saving.
