We're kicking off our Summer 2026 Zebra Travel Diaries with the Baldwin family!

Her son Hudson will be a freshman at Claremore High School this fall, and her daughter Riley will be entering 8th grade at Will Rogers Junior High.
Whether you're cruising the Caribbean, exploring a national park, visiting family, or enjoying a staycation, don't forget your Zebra gear! We'd love to see where you wear your #CPSZebraPride this summer.

Our 7th graders took a trip to the RSU Reserve!
As students explored the wetlands and ponds along the half-mile trail, they learned from Mr. Gibbs about how the environment has changed over time, the impact humans can have on ecosystems, and the importance of conservation and protecting natural spaces.
Along the way, students observed a variety of plants and wildlife—including deer, turtles, birds, butterflies, tadpoles, and more—giving them the opportunity to connect classroom learning to the real world around them.
Experiences like this help students better understand the environment while encouraging curiosity, exploration, and appreciation for the world we live in. What an incredible day of learning outside the classroom! 🦓✨
