πππ©·π©·π©· Looks like the lady Zebras have taken the lead in the Zebra Dazzle. Meet the newest little Zebra, Miss Blakely James! She is the daughter of two of our Claremore Public School employees, Nurse Kyla at Claremont Elementary and her husband, David, a teacher at Roosa Elementary. Blakely was born on March 15th - just in time for spring break. She weighed 6 lbs 10 oz and measured 18" long. She will be well taken care of by her two big sisters, Avery Grace and Harper Jo.
Congratulations - your Zebra family can't wait to meet you! #CPSZEBRAPRIDEπ©·
Mrs. Hammack's class got some exercise and sunshine walking to the Claremore Public Library - exploring the magical world of books and the joy of reading! Going to the library as a class allows students to connect over books, share stories, and even engage in a friendly competition to see who can read the most books! ππ¦

At Will Rogers Junior High, Mrs. Hammack's class is getting a real-life science lesson! They examined owl pellets and matched bones to the animals they came from. It takes patience, attention to detail, and critical thinking to piece together the puzzle- but how rewarding when they figure it out! This is one science experience the students won't forget!β€π¦π¬

ππ€ Engaging Vocabulary Learning in 2nd Grade! π€π
In Ms. Collin's small group sessions, students are not only expanding their vocabularies but also honing important literacy skills. From putting words in alphabetical order to matching definitions with words and defining them, every activity is designed to make learning fun and interactive. It's wonderful to see our zebras actively engaged and excited about building their language skills! π ππ¦ #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
For Read Across America week, our junior high art students drew the Cat in the Hat! That sounds like a fun and creative way to celebrate Read Across America Week! Dr. Seuss's "The Cat in the Hat" is such a classic children's book, and it's great to see students using their artistic skills to bring the story to life. βππ

Congratulations to Coach Mike Larimer on being inducted into the Oklahoma Tennis Coach Association Hall of Fame. A longtime coach and educator, Larimer has dedicated 28 years to coaching boys' and girls' tennis at the high school level in Oklahoma, with the last 23 years at Claremore.
He grew up in Ponca City, where he played various sports, but found his passion for tennis around age 12. During high school, he played for βBig Daddyβ (Steve Larimer) at East Junior High before transitioning to varsity tennis, displaying skill despite tough competition. While attending the University of Oklahoma, he briefly pursued tennis but later shifted his career to teaching and coaching after House Bill 1017 was passed. His coaching career saw successes, including memorable moments such as having many Meto Lake Conference titles, Regional titles, numerous State placers, and All-Staters.
Throughout his years of coaching, his main goal was he wanted his players to play extremely hard, make no excuses, have some fun on the journey, keep it in the green, and represent Claremore with class. Despite his accolades, Larimer remains humble, attributing his success to his players and the friendships cultivated throughout his years of service in Oklahoma's high school tennis community. Congratulations, Coach Larimer!πΎπ¦β€
