Of Course, if you are going to make a mistake, make it big. Like I did last week!

The Guthrie school District's first day of Class IS August 14th, not the 19th as we erred in publishing that date in last week's paper!

But I am confident that everyone in Guthrie who saw the wrong date rolled their eyes and knew that was incorrect.

Sorry for the error! And yes, Guthrie's first day of school for the 2025-2026 year in AUGUST 14TH!
