The halls are filled with music once again as students from Claremore and neighboring districts come together to learn, collaborate, and grow through jazz. It's been exciting to watch these talented young musicians build new friendships, sharpen their skills, and make music alongside students from across the region.
The best part is still to come! At the end of camp, these students will take the stage for a special performance showcasing everything they've learned throughout the week.
There's nothing better than seeing our schools and communities come together through the power of music. Stay tuned for performance information!🦓
One of our students recently ran into Mrs. Kropp while they were both participating in the Quapaw Powwow in Quapaw, Oklahoma. It was a special moment as they celebrated and honored their Native American heritage together through dance and tradition.
We love seeing our Zebra family connecting beyond the classroom and celebrating the cultures and traditions that make our community so unique. ❤️
Our Zebra cheerleaders have proudly represented Claremore at multiple camps, including NCA and ECC, where their hard work, determination, and school spirit were on full display.
The team brought home an impressive list of honors, including Top Stunt, Top Jumper, the NCA Spirit Award, 22 All-American nominations, and 7 All-American honorees.
We're incredibly proud of the way these students represented Claremore with Zebra Pride. Keep working hard, and we can't wait to cheer you on this season! ❤️🦓
📚✨Grant Spotlight at Claremore High School!✨📚
Thanks to the support of the Claremore Public Schools Foundation, AP English Literature students at Claremore High School will have the opportunity to explore contemporary themes through the novel, Klara and the Sun.
This thought-provoking text encourages students to think critically about topics such as artificial intelligence, ethics, humanity, and the rapidly changing world around them. Through discussion, analysis, and reflection, students will strengthen their critical thinking skills while exploring literature's connection to real-world issues.
"Literature is more than just telling stories: literature has the power to increase critical thinking skills, enhance emotional and social intelligence, and promote imagination and creativity. By incorporating this new text - Klara and the Sun - into my AP English Literature and Composition course, students have the opportunity to use literature to reflect on current issues such as artificial intelligence and its impact on humanity."-Jill Andrews, Claremore High School
Thank you to the Claremore Public Schools Foundation for supporting innovative classroom resources that challenge students to think deeply, ask important questions, and engage with the world through literature. ❤️📖

Where's the beef? Right here at Zebra Nutrition! 🥩🐄
We're gearing up for an exciting new school year and that starts with bringing fresh, locally sourced ingredients to our students! Our Zebra Nutrition team recently acquired over 2,000 pounds of locally sourced beef in the form of hamburger patties and ground beef.
That means even more delicious, homemade favorites are coming to our cafeterias! Our ground beef will be featured in meals like chili, lasagna, spaghetti, shepherd's pie, and sloppy joes, giving students fresh, quality ingredients in some of their favorite dishes. 🍝🌶️🍔
We're proud to support local businesses while continuing to elevate the school lunch experience for our students.
A huge THANK YOU to DBar Beef/Dorsey Processing for partnering with us and helping make it all possible. We can't wait to serve these meals to our Zebras this school year! 🦓✨
