Jaclyn Broadbent, a senior at Claremore High School, finds solace and freedom in expressing herself through art. Inspired by her best friend Abby, her family, and the diverse tapestry of humanity, Jaclyn values the richness of inspiration around her. Engaging in art programs at CHS has taught her fundamental principles and how to weave coherence into seemingly chaotic pieces. Proficient in various mediums such as collages, scratch art, watercolor, acrylic, and pastels, Jaclyn's creativity knows no bounds.🎨🦓
Beyond her artistic pursuits, she wants to go into childcare, recognizing the importance of fostering creativity in young minds. Notable among her achievements is writing and illustrating a children's book, which garnered recognition in a Children's Literature Competition. Jaclyn envisions a career in Early Childhood Development, where she believes in embracing children's "process art" to nurture their innate creativity.
Her fondest memory of art programs is witnessing others' unique expressions and understanding the profound language of creativity beyond words. For Jaclyn, art isn't just a hobby; it's a gateway to connection, expression, and the exploration of the human spirit. Her main takeaway is that she has learned the importance of the basic principles of art and how to bring a sense of cohesiveness to an art piece, even though it might be messy.🎨🦓❤ #cpszebrapride

Gabriel Sorrels, a senior at Claremore High School and member of the Claremore Band, found his passion in music. Music is a constant companion for Gabriel, from childhood car sing-alongs to navigating heartbreaks. Gabriel has delved into percussion, jazz, piano, and trombone, finding his inspiration from the greats like Art Blakey and John Mackey, as well as his jazz instructor, Mr. Smith, and lessons teacher, Mr. Toumayan. In his free time, he also composes and writes his own music.
His journey in music is marked by discipline and achievements, such as being a two-time NBDA member, GCBDA Jazz Drummer, and ZFE Member of the Year 2022-2023. He has led and excelled as Drum Captain and a Superior State Soloist, but his aspirations extend beyond personal accolades. Gabriel plans to pursue a career in music education with a Bachelor's in Music Education and a Master's in Music Performance. He will use his degrees to advocate for musical accessibility and education to be more available in underprivileged communities. As a senior, he spends part of his day at Will Rogers Junior High, teaching the students and developing their passion for music. One of Gabriel's favorite memories includes marching in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, meeting the band Foreigner, and soaking in New York City.
Students like Gabriel showcase the many benefits of music in education. In honor of Music in Education Month, we are celebrating by featuring our students who have found and developed their passions. Music in education fosters discipline, creativity, and community, shaping musicians and well-rounded individuals ready to create and contribute artistically to society.🎼🥁🦓 #cpszebrapride

Claremont and Roosa Elementary have had afterschool STEM and STEAM clubs that our students love for several years. These programs foster our young Zebras' scientific, technological, mathematical, and engineering minds! 👩🔬🦓
Recently, Claremont and Roosa were awarded a grant through our amazing CPS foundation which gave our 5th graders the opportunity to merge their STEM experience with an after school robotics program!
They meet weekly at their own schools, but recently had the great fortune of visiting the CHS STEM building where Roosa and Claremont worked side by side with each other AND some our award winning CHS robotics teams! 🤖🧪
This is just another way our Claremore Public Schools' Zebra Family is great; the way we come together to support one another is absolutely unmatched! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE 🦓❤
🦓🎣 #ZebraTravelDiaries: Arkansas Fishing Adventure!
Jet and Ada Epperley, from our Zebra family, enjoyed their spring break vacation in Arkansas, reeling in the fun and fish! 🐟 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
Spring break may be over, but our #ZebraTravelDiaries continues! If you haven't shared your adventures in your ZEBRA LOGO you can still send them in to jbrace@claremore.k12.ok.us.
Catalayah's very own Mr. D and the 3rd grade teachers took their students to Owasso for Link Up! 🎶🦓
Link Up is an educational resource that introduces students in grades 3–5 to the orchestra through an interactive curriculum. Students learn to sing and play an instrument in the classroom before performing with a professional orchestra in their community.
Our 3rd graders performed 5 songs with the Tulsa symphony Orchestra; 2 on recorder, 2 singing, and one with rhythmic clapping.
They did such a great job and had a blast, all while repping their #CPSZEBRAPRIDE!!
Over at Westside, Mrs. Whitaker's little Zebras have been studying the butterfly lifecycle! Take a peek at these pictures as they observe their growing caterpillars! 🐛🦋

“What the world needs now, is a lot more love! What the world needs now, is lifting each other up.” 🎶💕 These are the lyrics Mrs. Boomershine's class sang at Claremont's Rise and Shine! They performed a song that serves as a wonderful reminder to be kind and help our friends! This was a fun and uplifting experience that allowed them to demonstrate the life principles they learn and shows us fellow Zebras how the Great Expectations are implemented into their curriculum! 🦓♥🎶 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
At the beginning of the year, members of the class of 2024 transformed their parking spot into a vibrant canvas. Whether it's splashes of color, bold designs, or witty quotes, their car's home base is as unique as they are.
Thank you, Bryce Langley, for capturing some of those masterpieces. See more here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1uaEitqhzT9P7j1UgGhaxEnPiSB2v822a?usp=sharing
