Hey BuzzHeads!

It’s Almost June!
Did someone order more rain? It’s been a wet one so far but that should help with the drought conditions in our area! Looks like more rain is coming in June. But don’t worry, blazing summer temps will be here before we know it.

How about the OKC Thunder! Back to the championship! The Finals start June 5.

SNB Gives Money To Kids With Good Grades

Security National Bank of Enid will once again be rewarding five lucky area students for their good grades with the SNB Pays for A’s program.

The program is open to students in grades 3 through 12. Public and private school students are encouraged to participate. Students will have until 5pm June 20, 2025 to take their report cards to Security National Bank’s 201 West Broadway or 210 North Oakwood locations. There the bank will make a copy of the report card and place it in a hopper. Four cards will be drawn from the hopper. Those four students will receive $10 for each A and $5 for each B on their spring 2025 semester grades. Individual grades from each nine-week section will not be considered.

All students entering their grades will receive a coupon for a chocolate chunk cookie or chocolate fudge brownie from Chick Fil A of Enid.

In addition to the four students who will be “paid for their As”, one card will be drawn from the hopper for a $150 savings account with the bank.
