Miss Helen's Private School has been providing excellence in early childhood education since 1954. It was then that "Miss Helen" Wingo realized many of the children entering Kindergarten had difficulty adjusting socially, emotionally as well as academically. She believed there must be a better way for the young students of Tulsa to be prepared for their academic futures. She was right and Miss Helen's Private School has grown to become a leading educational institution.
Executive Director Lynda Wingo believes in the philosophy of her mother-in-law; to provide a great learning institution where children can develop their reading, math, and social talents as well as improve communication skills and learning habits. Today Miss Helen's heritage lives on in the school's facility at 48th Street and Mingo Road. Miss Helen's offers programs in three areas, Preschool, Kindergarten, and Elementary Grades 1st through 5th.
Representative: Stephanie Byrne

Have you noticed that people forget all about etiquette rules when they are driving their car? On The Spruce website, Debby Mayne reminds us, “Driving can be a stressful activity, which often brings out the rudeness in otherwise very nice people. It doesn't have to be that way. You can maintain a level head while you get to wherever you're going.”
Here are a few of her “polite driver guidelines”:
- Don't go too fast – Remember to adhere to posted speed limits. Driving fast can endanger your life and the lives of others.
- Also, don't go too slow – Going to slow, even in an area with low speed limits, can cause others to possibly do something dangerous in trying to get around you.
- Heed conditions – Use caution when driving in bad weather, in areas of road construction, or in rush-hour traffic. While rush-hour traffic can be difficult, avoid honking your horn or weaving in and out of traffic. Changing lanes can increase your chances of an accident.
- Drive with intention and use your turn signal – When needing to make a turn, move to the proper lane and use your turn signal to indicate that you will be turning left or right.
- Pull over for emergency vehicles – When you hear a siren or see flashing lights, immediately pull over and let the emergency vehicle pass.
- Bad behavior – Responding to another person’s bad behavior or rudeness on the road with bad manners can escalate the situation. Let it go before tempers flare and the situation gets out of hand.
The bottom line is to remember the Golden Rule in all areas of your life. Be polite, especially when you are driving your car.
