After a productive week of leadership training, members of the Claremore High School NJROTC staff had the opportunity to attend the Rogers County Sheriff's Barbecue Fundraiser, where they enjoyed time together while proudly representing Claremore Public Schools and the NJROTC program.
A special highlight of the evening was hearing Chief Jasper share the history of the Eternal Flame and the important role Claremore NJROTC cadets have played in this meaningful community tradition. It was a powerful reminder of the legacy of service and leadership our cadets continue to uphold.
Cadets in attendance were: ENS Moreno, LTJG Heide, CDR Charles, Cloud, Fenton, Bodley, Smith, Rigby, and Templeton.
A sincere thank you to the Rogers County Sheriff's Office for their hospitality and for including our cadets in this wonderful community event. We are proud of our NJROTC students for representing Claremore with professionalism, character, and Zebra Pride. ❤️🦓

History came to life for a group of our Will Rogers Junior High students!
Mr. Borntreger, along with several WRJH students and their families, recently traveled to Washington, D.C. with World Classrooms for an unforgettable educational experience. Throughout the trip, students explored some of our nation's most iconic landmarks, monuments, and museums, gaining a deeper understanding of American history far beyond what they can learn in a textbook.
Experiences like these give students the opportunity to connect classroom learning with the real world, creating memories while inspiring curiosity about our nation's past.
Thank you to World Classrooms for a fantastic trip, and thank you to our students and families for embracing this incredible learning adventure. We hope to do it again in the future! ❤️🦓

Marching Band is back in the BUILDING! 🥁🎺
Behind every incredible halftime show and competition performance are countless hours of hard work, discipline, and dedication. While the music is a huge part of marching band, so is the precision of every single step and that's exactly what our students are working on during camp.
Day after day, they're pushing themselves through marching fundamentals, learning that every step, every count, and every movement matters. It takes focus, grit, teamwork, and perseverance to perform at a high level, and these students continue to rise to the challenge.
We are so proud of the commitment our band members show to their craft. Their willingness to put in the work now is what makes the magic happen under the Friday night lights and on the competition field.
The season is just getting started, and we can't wait to see all of their hard work come to life! ❤️🦓

Claremore's very own Ms. Ashley Henry recently traveled to the home of the Wright brothers to attend Teacher Air Camp, where she immersed herself in hands-on aviation and aerospace experiences. From flight planning and flying an airplane to reassembling aircraft engines, exploring museums, and even training with real falcons, she gained firsthand knowledge from experts in the field.
Opportunities like this are more than just professional development, they equip our teachers with new ideas, real-world experiences and engaging lessons they can bring back to the classroom.

Our junior high campers got an exciting behind-the-scenes look at the world of theatre during this year's Theatre Camp! Under the direction of Mrs. Ketterling, students participated in acting games and improvisation exercises that challenged them to think creatively, solve problems, collaborate with others, and perform with confidence.
Campers also had the opportunity to tour the Robson Performing Arts Center, giving them a firsthand look at everything that goes into bringing a production to life. From what happens on stage to all the work behind the scenes, students discovered that theatre is truly a team effort.
A huge thank you to our campers for embracing new challenges and to the parents and families who continue to support the arts!❤️🦓
