The Children’s Art Workshop provides county students the opportunity to participate in ab Arts Workshop which will teach basic arts education, including various mediums (acrylics, water colors, etc.) and allow them to have “hands on” experience in painting with instructors to help guide them through the process to a finished product.

The project provided the students with all the materials and supplies needed yo complete their project and then after the projects are finished will be on display at an art show featuring their projects.

This project will be for getting needed equipment for the Rescue Squad to better serve the community.

This project served as an opportunity to promote the forestry industry, Choctaw County’s most vital sector, to local high-school students soon entering the workforce and the community at-large

The Chamber Ambassador program is designed to encourage student participation in public service through assisting the Choctaw County Chamber of Commerce in various projects throughout the year.

Margaret Ann Knott was one of the heroes of the Civil Rights Movement in Choctaw County. On September 11th, 1971, Miss Knott was killed during a protest on the streets of Butler after being struck by a vehicle at the young age of 19. This project is to assist in funding the creation of a marker to be placed by the county to commemorate the life of Miss Knott and recognize her role in progressing the fight for Civil Rights in Choctaw County.
