OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma History Center will host the sixth annual Back to School Bash on Thursday, August 1, from 6 to 8 pm. This event brings 35 other metro museums and public education facilities together to give teachers and families the opportunity to see what resources these Oklahoma institutions can offer to their curriculum and programs. Staff and educators from these organizations will be on-site to answer questions about field trips, teacher resources, professional development and special events. In addition, the Oklahoma History Center’s galleries will be open all evening and door prizes will be awarded to teachers throughout the night. This event is free and registration is not required, but encouraged.
