Learning that goes beyond the classroom at Will Rogers Junior High! 💰📚
Students in Mr. Michael’s Life Skills class have been working on summer job budgets and savings plans, combining math skills with real-world financial lessons that will help prepare them for the future.
From calculating expenses to planning savings goals, these students are learning how to make smart decisions with money while building important life skills they can carry with them for years to come.
We love seeing our students connect classroom learning to everyday life in meaningful and practical ways! 🦓✨

Claremont’s 3rd graders brought Oklahoma history to life during their annual Wax Museum!
While dressing up as famous Oklahomans was definitely fun, this project was about so much more than costumes. Students spent time researching historical figures using credible sources, writing scripts, and learning about the impact these individuals had on Oklahoma history.
The Wax Museum gave students the opportunity to strengthen their research, writing, and public speaking skills while also building confidence and creativity along the way.
We are so proud of the effort, knowledge, and enthusiasm our Claremont students brought to this project. They did an amazing job bringing history to life right before our eyes! 🦓👏

Science came to life in Mrs. Collins’ 2nd grade classroom at Westside! 🦋🐛
Students recently wrapped up a hands-on unit all about the life cycle of butterflies. From the moment they met the tiny caterpillars, students carefully observed and cared for them as they grew, formed their chrysalis, and eventually transformed into beautiful butterflies. The best part? Getting to release the butterflies outside and watch them take flight!
Experiences like this make learning unforgettable by giving students the chance to see science happen right before their eyes. 🦓❤️

Catalayah 4th graders had an unforgettable day exploring the Tulsa Air and Space Museum! ✈️🚀
From climbing into simulators and seeing real aircraft up close to learning about aviation, engineering, and space travel, students got a hands-on look into the exciting world of STEM.
Field trips like this are about more than just having fun, they help students imagine what their futures could look like. Whether it’s becoming a pilot, engineer, scientist, or astronaut, experiences like these spark curiosity and inspire students to dream big.
It was a day full of discovery, excitement, and learning that our students won’t soon forget! 🦓✨

🐝🦋🌱 Our kindergarteners have been hard at work bringing science to life in the sweetest way!
As part of their learning about pollinators, students planted a garden designed to attract bees and butterflies. They carefully selected host plants for butterflies to lay their eggs, added flowers pollinators love to visit, and even created a watering station to help care for their new garden friends. A bee hotel may even be coming soon! 🐝✨
Hands-on learning experiences like this help students build curiosity while learning how they can care for and support the world around them. We are so proud of our little gardeners for digging in, learning, and growing! 🦓💛

♻️📚✨ The library at Catalayah Elementary turned old math workbooks into something brand new… paper!
To celebrate Earth Day, PK–5 students became paper engineers and recycling artists, transforming used workbook pages into fresh sheets they can write on all over again. From tearing and blending paper into pulp to forming and drying brand-new sheets, students experienced the full papermaking process firsthand.
This creative project combined STEAM learning and library skills in the best way possible:
🔬 Science – exploring how materials break down and reform
🛠️ Engineering – using tools and processes to create new paper
🎨 Art – designing unique textures and styles
➕ Math – measuring, timing, and following steps
📖 Literacy – connecting books and real-world applications
Best of all, students gave old materials a second life instead of sending them to the trash. Who knew the library could double as a paper factory? 🏭💡🦓

💛🎓 Such a sweet way to celebrate our kindergarten graduates!
Mrs. Ritter’s 5th grade class created the cutest pictures for Mrs. James’ kindergarten class to help celebrate their graduation. The kindergarten students were so excited to receive special artwork from the “big kids,” and the smiles said it all! ✨
Moments like these are what make Catalayah Elementary so special: kindness, encouragement, and friendships across grade levels. Great job, Mrs. Ritter’s class! 🦓💛

Mrs. Breen’s junior high art students understood the assignment! 😂🎨
This spring, students took on the challenge of creating caricatures of our staff members and the results are AMAZING. Our Junior high students worked hard to capture each staff member’s personality in a fun and creative way.
This project pushed students to think outside the box, take artistic risks, and sharpen their creativity skills.
We are so proud of the talent, effort, and humor these students brought to the project.🦓✨

Mrs. Reynolds’s class turned the classroom into a pizza kitchen! ✨🍕
From kneading dough and adding toppings to carefully baking their creations in the oven (with a grown-up helping, of course!), students got the full hands-on experience of making their very own pizzas from start to finish.
Not only was it a delicious treat, but it was also a fun way for students to practice following directions, working together, and trying something new. And let’s be honest… food just makes learning even more exciting!
The best part? Getting to enjoy the finished product together and seeing all the smiles around the room. What a fun and memorable experience for these students! 🦓❤️

Bryan Frazier Named OASA District 6 Superintendent of the Year
The Why Behind the Work: Bryan Frazier Named District 6 Superintendent of the Year
For Bryan Frazier, leadership has never been about titles, recognition, or standing behind a podium. It has always been about people.
It is about the student who needs someone to believe in them before they believe in themselves. It is about the teacher who stays late to help a struggling learner. It is about building a school system rooted in trust, relationships, and purpose. And it is about ensuring every decision ultimately points back to what is best for students.
That philosophy is one reason Frazier has been named the 2026 Oklahoma Association of School Administrators (OASA) District 6 Superintendent of the Year, an honor recognizing exceptional leadership, service to public education, and contributions to educational advancement across Oklahoma.
Now in his ninth year leading, Frazier has guided the district through some of the most challenging and defining moments in modern education. From navigating a statewide teacher walkout and leading through the COVID-19 pandemic to overseeing curriculum reform, and the district’s largest bond preparation effort, his leadership has consistently focused on maintaining stability while continuing to move the district forward.
But those who know Frazier best say the story is bigger than the challenges he has managed. It is about the culture he has helped create.
Under his leadership, CPS established five district core values: Grit, Community, Excellence, Purpose, and Innovation. Those values are not simply branding statements placed on banners or websites. They shape district decision-making, program development, staff expectations, and student support systems across every school site.
The district’s current annual theme, “Win the Day,” reflects a philosophy that meaningful change is not built through one major moment, but through consistent, intentional effort every single day.
“Public schools are one of the most important institutions in our communities, and this recognition reflects the work of an entire district, not just one individual,” Frazier said. “I am incredibly grateful for our students, staff, families, Board of Education, and community partners who continue to believe in the mission of public education and the work we do together every day.”
