Motion Tulsa Kids is holding a day camp for Pre-K through 5th grade students during the walkouts. Parents may drop off as early as 7:30am, though camp is from 9am-4pm, and may pick up as late as 6pm at no additional charge. Camp will consist of crafts, free play, fitness activities, and more - but no screens or electronics. This camp is open to non-members and offers both drop-in care (though more expensive at $89/day) or for an entire week of camp at $149. Keep in mind that they cannot offer refunds due to needing to staff for additional children. Please sign up here or call them with any questions at (918) 747-5425.

Joe Momma's in Tulsa is offering free meals to Tulsa Public School students and Sapulpa Public School students on walkout day (I'll update if that offer gets extended if the strike lasts longer).
