🐄☕ Now THAT’S a MOO-velous way to start the day!
Claremont’s drop-off line got a fun surprise Tuesday morning when Chick-fil-A stopped by with coffee for our families and staff—and brought along a very special guest!
The Chick-fil-A Cow was definitely a hit with our kiddos, bringing plenty of smiles, waves, and excitement before the school day even began. 🐄❤️
Thank you, Chick-fil-A, for thinking of our Zebra families and adding a little extra fun (and caffeine ☕) to the morning!

🔬 Science is better when you get to test it yourself! 💦🪙
Ms. Loyd’s 5th graders put the Scientific Method to work with a simple question: How many drops of water can fit on one penny?
Students made their hypotheses, tested their predictions, observed the results, and recorded what they discovered—all while getting a hands-on look at science in action. 🙌
A penny + a dropper + a little curiosity = a pretty great day of learning! ❤️🦓

Our first Try Day of the year was… interesting, to say the least. 😂
Chef Ryan brought something a little different to the table for our Claremont students: Squid Ink Pasta! Don’t let the name fool you. This simple, savory, buttery pasta is delicious. The squid ink simply gives it that unique color!
The reactions? Definitely mixed. But we had plenty of students brave enough to give it a try and many walked away ready to spread the word that this pasta was actually GOOD! 🙌
One of our favorite parts of Try Day is seeing the excitement when students see Chef Ryan coming because they know something new is about to hit their taste buds!
We’re proud of our Zebras for being curious, open-minded, and willing to try something new. You never know what you might discover when you take that first bite! 🦓❤️🍝
