The Demand Project will be presenting the AWARE workshop in the Tandy Dining Hall, Wednesday, February 7, from 6-7 p.m.
This will be a hands-on training for parents and guardians (no children please). In this workshop, we will learn how to take charge of technology and social media to protect our children from online predators. We will gain key insight into the tactics and methods they use to gain access to our children. And we will leave with the tools needed on how to protect our children.
The Demand Project is a nonprofit organization in Tulsa that helps in the education, protection, recovery and restoration of human trafficking and the child sexual exploitation of children.

American Exchange Project seeking host families
The American Exchange Project, America’s first free domestic exchange program, is looking for host families from Holland Hall to join us as we connect the country.
Through AEP, seniors embark on an all-expenses-paid, week-long trip to an American community very different from their hometown after graduating from high school, where they get immersed in area culture and history, live with a local family, and make friends for life. AEP students also welcome visiting students within their own hometown during another week of the summer. This is AEP’s first year in Tulsa; the program is coordinated locally by Leonardo De Andrade, Chair of Holland Hall’s World Languages Department and Spanish teacher in the Upper School.
AEP seeks Holland Hall families who can host one or more visiting students in their homes from Wednesday, July 24 to Wednesday, July 31. This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for visiting students to experience day-to-day life in Tulsa and for families to meet someone from another part of the United States. Responsibilities include transporting the student(s) to and from the airport and providing two square meals a day; hosts will receive a stipend to help offset food, transportation, and other costs. Interested families should sign up through the AEP website.
If you have any questions, please visit AEP’s host family FAQs webpage or reach out to Mr. De Andrade at ldeandrade@hollandhall.org. AEP is not a Holland Hall-sponsored program.
FROM THE NURSE
Flu? Strep Throat?
According to the Oklahoma State Department of Health “influenza activity across the state is high and has continued to increase.” At Holland Hall, we are also seeing an increase in the number of flu cases. Strep throat has also been noted recently. “The OSDH encourages Oklahomans to practice good hand hygiene, cover their cough and stay home when they are sick or not feeling well to help mitigate the spread of illnesses like the flu.” If your child is ill with any of these symptoms, please contact the physician for guidance.
UPPER SCHOOL
Summer opportunities are on the horizon
