Beyond the Bell Families!

Just a quick note to let you know there will be no Beyond the Bell after-school program this Tuesday, April 21st. My husband and I are celebrating our anniversary, and I also have a doctor’s appointment that afternoon, so we’ll have to pause programming for the day.

Please make sure your student is picked up at regular school dismissal time on Tuesday.

Thank you so much for your understanding and for always supporting Beyond the Bell and The Second Chance Ranch Inc. We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to invest in our youth each week.

We’ll see everyone back at Beyond the Bell on Thursday, April 23rd.

We’ve made it easier than ever to support what we’re doing at The Second Chance Ranch Inc.—without writing a big check or even thinking about it.

We now have a Round-Up account 👇
https://www.roundup.org/nonprofits/the-second-chance-ranch-inc-ok-duncan-fx50s20

Here’s how it works:

Every time you use your debit or credit card, your purchase is rounded up to the nearest dollar… and that spare change is donated to us. 

Example:
Spend $9.40 → it rounds to $10.00 → 60¢ goes to help youth right here in our community.

At the end of the month, all those small amounts are combined into one simple donation. 

No hassle. No pressure. Just steady support.

Most people don’t even notice it—but it adds up in a big way over time.

This is one of the easiest ways to make a real impact:
✔ Takes less than a minute to set up
✔ Uses the card you already use every day
✔ Creates consistent support for our programs

If you believe in what we’re building, this is a simple way to stand behind it.

Small change. Real impact.

Designate The Second Chance Ranch Inc in Duncan, OK to receive the round ups from everyday credit card purchases on your Visa or Mastercard. Free to sign up, tax-deductible, automatic monthly donations.

Last year in Stephens County, 218 children were confirmed victims of abuse.

Let that sink in.
• 17 cases of sexual abuse
• 24 cases of physical abuse
• 177 cases of neglect

These aren’t just numbers. These are kids in our community—sitting in our classrooms, playing on our fields, walking through our neighborhoods.

Neglect makes up the majority, and it often gets overlooked. But it matters. Lack of food, supervision, stability—it shapes a child’s future just as much as any other form of abuse.

We can’t ignore this.

If you’re a parent, caregiver, teacher, neighbor, or mentor—you are part of the safety net. Pay attention. Speak up. Step in when something doesn’t look right.

Tug of war brought ALL the energy today — and the girls took the W!

04/08/2026

They didn’t just have fun today. They felt like they MATTERED.

ZIP LINE. SIDE-BY-SIDE RIDES. TUG-OF-WAR. KICKBALL. HOT DOGS.

20+ middle schoolers got an afternoon they won’t forget — and behind every one of those moments was an adult who chose to invest in a kid.

Big shout out to ALL of our volunteers who made today possible. To Loren & Rene’ Swor for letting us take over their beautiful property. And to BillyDon & Grant for giving the students the time of their lives on the side-by-side.

This is what investing in middle schoolers looks like.

Because youth need somewhere good to go — and together, we’re making sure they have it. 💚
