Welcome to the Anne and Henry Zarrow School of Social Work

Into the Storm

The American bison is indigenous to Oklahoma and proudly listed as our official state animal. It is a symbol of who we are; strong, independent, and loyal. An interesting thing about the American bison is how the herd manages the heartland’s rough and tumble weather patterns. When a storm is developing on the horizon the strongest males of the herd will form a line out front, while the strongest females will form a circle around the young, weak, or frail. Then, together, as a collective unit, a team, and a family, they charge into the storm. The bison knows intrinsically how the adversity of the American West cannot be outrun. It must be overcome. The bison has survived because it knows in the core of its being it must face its problems head on. No one is here to do it for them. There is no cover or shelter in the chaos. The bison knows everyone has a very specific role and that success is connected to leaving no one behind. 

Follow us. Into the storm.
