🌎 Learning Local, Thinking Global!
Our 6th-grade Geography students got a real-world lesson in environmental science and geography from Scott Vaughn, Claremore’s Stormwater Manager. 💧
He shared how pollution in stormwater, such as litter, chemicals, and pet waste, can affect our local creeks, rivers, and community. Students explored how geography connects to environmental stewardship and learned practical ways to be responsible citizens who help protect Claremore’s natural resources.
Together, we can keep our community clean and our waterways healthy! 🌿

Students explored the galleries on a self-guided tour, discovering powerful works of art, historic artifacts, and captivating stories that capture the enduring spirit of the American West.
Experiences like this ignite creativity, deepen cultural understanding, and inspire new artistic perspectives. What a memorable day of learning beyond the classroom!

Mrs. Peters’ 5th-grade Mad Scientists were busy in the lab this week! 🧪💥
Using four powders and three liquids, students tested chemical reactions to see what happens when science gets a little mad! 😄
Hands-on learning, curiosity, and discovery, that’s #CPSZEBRAPRIDE in action!

Mrs. Simmond's students harvested lettuce, cauliflower, and celery, and even brewed the tastiest lemon balm tea, all grown in their classroom hydroponics system!
Through this hands-on project, students learned how plants can thrive without soil, exploring concepts like nutrient solutions, root systems, water cycles, and sustainable agriculture. They also practiced observation, data collection, and the scientific method as they monitored plant growth and water quality.
These young scientists didn’t just grow food; they cultivated curiosity, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of how innovation and science can shape the future of farming. This project was made possible through the CPSF Grant Program! 🌱
