Teachable Moment

Welcoming Aurora Lora as superintendent of schools

Since taking the reins as superintendent of Oklahoma City Public Schools in August, Aurora Lora has become an advocate for change in the district during a challenging time for the state budget. Oklahoma native Summer Wheat's exhibition, Everything Under the Sun, served as a backdrop for a lovely evening reception held at Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center.

The evening reception attracted parents and supporters of Oklahoma City Public Schools. OKCPS board chair Lynne Hardin led with welcoming remarks. Advocates such as Amy Curran from Generation Citizen and Erin Oldfield, director of education for Oklahoma Contemporary were in attendance. Young musicians from El Sistema performed for the crowd during the cocktail hour.
