Our high school band had the incredible opportunity to perform at the OkMEA Conference before the weather moved in, and what an honor it was. Getting the opportunity to perform at this conference is a recognition of excellence, dedication, and countless hours of preparation and our students truly rose to the occasion.
These musicians have worked tirelessly through rehearsals, practices, and performances, all leading up to this moment. Getting the chance to take the stage made every early morning, late night, and extra rehearsal worth it.
While the remainder of the conference was unfortunately canceled due to weather, that does not take away from what our band students accomplished. Their commitment, resilience, and passion for music deserve to be celebrated. We are so proud of each student for the effort they put in to reach this level, and we are excited to see (and hear) where their talent and hard work take them next.
This is Zebra Pride in action. 🦓🎶

Less than, greater than, EQUAL to… CHOMP! 🐊
Our alligator helpers made comparing numbers fun, simple, and easy to remember.

Books + creativity + snow = magic ❄️📖
After an Iroquois fable about Rabbit and the snow, students learned that patience pays off, especially when winter shows up right on cue.
#cpszebrapride
Snow much fun ❄️❄️❄️
Three snow days in and our Zebras are making the most of it! Sledding, snowmen, cozy vibes—we want to see it all.

Wednesdays are usually Chef Ryan exhibition days for our high school students… but thanks to the snow day, we’re all trading the cafeteria for the couch today.
We hope everyone is staying warm, safe, and well-fed at home!
Since we’re missing out on today’s exhibition, we want to know, did anyone cook up something delicious or try a fun new comfort food while snowed in?

New Baby Zebra Alert - x2! 💙💙
Mrs. Shaye Watson and her husband (Trey) welcomed TWO new additions to their family this past week!
On January 21st, Charles Andrew "Drew" Watson (R) made his grand entrance at 11:15 a.m., weighing 5 lbs 10 oz and measuring 18.5 inches long, followed by his twin brother 6 minutes later, Cal Alexander Watson (L), at 11:21 a.m., weighing 6 lbs and measuring 18.25 inches long.
Big sister Kennedy is already smitten and ready to show her little brothers the ropes of being a part of a Zebra Dazzle. Mrs. Watson is a teacher at Roosa Elementary, and both she and her husband are Zebra alums.

The Oklahoma Floodplain Managers Association (OFMA) hosts a statewide poster contest each year to help spread the important Turn Around, Don’t Drown® safety message. This year, more than 210 students from across Oklahoma participated, and only 13 posters were selected to be featured in the official OFMA calendar.
We are incredibly proud to share that Catalayah is home to two of those Top 13 posters.
Congratulations to Kaizleigh Hutchins and Addi Ennis for their outstanding artwork and powerful messages. Each student who participated in the contest earned a certificate, and we are grateful for the support of teachers, families, and staff who helped make this opportunity possible.
By working together to promote this life-saving message, our students are helping keep communities across Oklahoma safer. Way to represent Catalayah and Claremore Public Schools with creativity, purpose, and pride.

Our Claremont 4th graders have loved their time in the STEM Lab with Ms. Cardwell! 🤖
Students jumped into hands-on activities that sparked curiosity, encouraged teamwork, and strengthened problem-solving skills while exploring science, technology, engineering, and math.
Introducing STEM at an early age helps students build confidence in critical thinking, ask thoughtful questions, and understand that learning often comes from trying, adjusting, and trying again. These experiences lay the foundation for future innovation and help students see themselves as capable creators and problem-solvers.
We are so proud of the creativity, enthusiasm, and growth our Claremont students continue to show in STEM! 🦓💡

Make it “A Great Day To Be A Zebra.”
Students in Mrs. Perry’s junior high class got creative with DNA structure in the most delicious way possible! 🧬🍭
Using Twizzlers, marshmallows, and toothpicks, students built their own DNA strands while learning how each part fits together. Shout out to our teachers for finding creative, engaging ways to make learning fun and memorable, and yes, a little tasty too!
Science + snacks = a win for learning!

Our high school Biomedical Capstone students have been hard at work creating anatomically correct, functioning heart models out of clay! 🫀🧠
This hands-on challenge pushed students to design and build models that actually demonstrate how blood flows through the heart. By creating, testing, and refining their own work, students deepened their understanding of anatomy and brought complex biological processes to life in a meaningful way.
Hands-on learning like this strengthens critical thinking, problem-solving, and retention, allowing students to truly see and experience what they’re learning rather than just reading about it. Innovation, creativity, and real-world learning all came together in one powerful project!

Mrs. Ratcliff’s art class is bringing Laurel Burch–style cats to life as 3rd–5th graders use bold colors, black paper, and metallic Sharpies to create truly purr-fect masterpieces.
Projects like this highlight the power of arts in education—encouraging self-expression, building confidence, and helping students develop creativity and problem-solving skills that reach far beyond the art room. We love seeing our students explore their imagination and let their creativity shine! 🦓✨

Wishing we could have class outside today! ☀️
Back when the weather was a lot nicer, Mrs. Ramsey took her 5th graders outdoors to tackle fractions using pavement and chalk. It’s funny how something as simple as a change of scenery can make learning more fun, more engaging, and help students retain information better, while also building those core memories that stick long after the lesson ends.

Claremont students are diving into a brand-new math unit—and learning was chomp-tastic! 🐊➕
As they began working with less than, greater than, and equal to, students created their very own alligator helpers and practiced letting them “eat” the bigger number. This hands-on activity made comparing numbers fun, memorable, and easy to understand.
These little math gators really snapped learning into place, and we couldn’t resist sharing the fun happening in our Claremont classrooms! 🦓📘
