Superhero Day at Durant Kiamichi Technology Center

A great way to engage students with this theme is to host some of your community's real life heroes-firemen, police officers, sheriff's department, SWAT team, tribal police, etc.  Your students will love touring their vehicles and meeting your community heroes on a personal level.
