Our CHS NJROTC students recently visited Justice Tiawah Middle School to showcase the leadership, teamwork, and unique opportunities the program has to offer. Students enjoyed exciting demonstrations from the Color Guard, Drone Team, and Armed Exhibition Team before jumping into hands-on activities like a drone course and team-building relay challenges.
It was a great opportunity to introduce younger students to the skills, friendships, and experiences that make NJROTC such a special program. We can't wait to welcome the next generation of Zebra cadets! 👏

Creativity was on full display for this Zebra! Rori Williams, an incoming 5th grader at Roosa Elementary, spent time at Philbrook Art Camp learning new art techniques from talented local artists. 🖌️🎨
From discovering new skills to expressing creativity, Rori made the most of this inspiring artistic adventure. We can't wait to see how these new techniques shine in the classroom this school year!

What a way to wrap up Jazz Summit Camp!
After a week of learning new music, refining their skills, and growing as musicians, our Jazz Summit campers took the stage for a fantastic end-of-camp concert. Their hard work, dedication, and passion were on full display as they performed for family, friends, and community members.
We're so proud of every student who stepped outside their comfort zone, embraced the challenge, and showcased everything they accomplished throughout the week.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who came out to support these young musicians. Your encouragement means the world to our campers and helps our Fine Arts programs continue to thrive. Thank you for investing in our students and celebrating the arts with us. ❤️🦓

This summer, Claremore High School student Ethan Boyd spent six weeks participating in the OKStars Summer Research Program at OSU Medical School–Tulsa, where he studied the effects of exergaming on physiological function alongside high school students, doctors, Ph.D. students, and biomedical researchers.
Through this incredible opportunity, Ethan gained hands-on research experience, worked with advanced laboratory equipment, collaborated with professional researchers, and explored the world of biomedical science. He also had the chance to build valuable connections with mentors, learn about college and career pathways in STEM, and develop skills that will serve him well in the future.
We are incredibly proud of Ethan for pursuing this opportunity, representing Claremore Public Schools with excellence, and continuing to chase knowledge beyond the classroom. Congratulations, Ethan! Your Zebra family can't wait to see where your curiosity and hard work take you next. ❤️🦓

Who says math has to stay on paper?
Mrs. Ward's class took a creative approach to learning fractions by turning a sweet treat into a hands-on math lesson. As students divided their oatmeal pies into equal parts, they explored concepts like wholes, halves, and fourths in a way they could see and taste!
Activities like this help make math meaningful by giving students real-world experiences that reinforce classroom concepts. It's a fun reminder that some of the best learning happens when creativity is part of the lesson.
Now that's a lesson students won't soon forget! 🦓✨

Art Camp was a HUGE success! ✨🎨
What an incredible four days of creativity, learning, and fun! Under the guidance of our amazing art teachers, Ms. Hoffer and Ms. Mercer, campers explored new artistic techniques through tie-dye, linoleum printing, Batik fabric dyeing, painting, and so much more. Every project gave students the opportunity to express themselves, build new skills, and let their creativity shine.
A big thank you to all of our talented campers for bringing such enthusiasm and imagination to the studio each day. We also want to thank the parents and families who came out to support the end-of-camp showcase and continue encouraging the arts in our schools. Your support means so much to our students and teachers.
As an added bonus, Art Camp also serves as a fundraiser for our art program, helping provide new tools, supplies, and opportunities for students throughout the upcoming school year.
