Mrs. Christy Nunley, Head Cook at Will Rogers Junior High, has been part of Claremore Public Schools for five years and has had the special opportunity to watch her daughter, Sarah Nunley, grow throughout her journey as a Zebra. Sarah also carries on a strong family legacy, with both of her parents being Claremore High School alumni, her dad graduating in 1994 and her mom in 1996.
A Zebra since Pre-K at Roosa Elementary, Sarah has attended Roosa, Will Rogers Junior High, and Claremore High School. During her time at CPS, she has been actively involved in Drama, Choir, and Room 701 Jazz Choir.
Reflecting on her time at CPS, Sarah shares, “I know I’ll always remember the amazing friends I made through the arts programs at CHS." One of Sarah’s favorite memories with her mom is the support she showed behind the scenes. “I always appreciated how my mom went out of her way to help with my choir and theater events.”
Christy reflects on Sarah’s journey, saying, “One of my favorite memories was when Sarah sang ‘Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious’ at a Roosa choir concert dressed as Mary Poppins—and learned to say it backward in just one day.”
When asked about educators who made a lasting impact, Christy shared, “Mr. Doonkeen encouraged her love for music, especially musicals, and always brought humor into the classroom. Ms. Golbek helped grow her love of animals through zoology this year.” She adds, “I’m amazed by her talents, all she has accomplished, and the kind person she has become, and I know her dad would be too.”
From performing on stage to building lifelong friendships, Sarah’s journey reflects the creativity, support, and opportunities that define Claremore Public Schools.

Jenni reflects on Amaeli’s journey, saying, “Some of my most cherished memories are watching her play softball and grow as both a leader and teammate. I’ve also loved seeing her confidence grow as she discovered tennis. From her early days at Roosa to now, it has been so special to watch her find her passions and become who she is today.”
When asked about educators who made a lasting impact, Jenni shared, “Mrs. Devers made a meaningful impact during Amaeli’s time at Roosa, building a strong connection that we still talk about. More recently, Mr. Riggs has inspired her interest in the medical field and helped shape her future goals.”

Michelle reflects on Veronika’s journey, saying, “One of my favorite memories was being at Pep Assemblies with her in the Mobra. It brought a sense of nostalgia being back in that gym, but this time as both a teacher and a parent. Watching her in her element and flourishing was incredibly special.”
When asked about an educator who made a lasting impact, Michelle shared, “Ms. Warden helped Veronika grow as a writer and become more confident. She taught her that the first draft doesn’t have to be perfect, it’s about getting your ideas down and building from there.”
She adds, “I am looking forward to watching her walk across the stage, just as I once did, and seeing all that the future holds for her.”
From growth through challenges to finding confidence and purpose, Veronika’s journey reflects the support and opportunities that define the CPS experience.
