Our CPS Bus Drivers are spreading holiday cheer!
This season, our incredible bus drivers hosted a toy drive for Toys for Tots, showing once again that their care for students goes far beyond the bus route.
They don’t just get our kids to and from school safely—they truly care about our children and our community. We’re so proud of their generosity and big hearts, and grateful for the joy they’re helping bring to families this holiday season.
Thank you, CPS Bus Drivers, for always going the extra mile!

Lunch just hits different when it’s GUMBO DAY! 😋🔥
Last week, Chef Ryan treated our high school students to a hearty chicken & sausage gumbo over rice with cornbread on the side. The verdict? They loved it — some even came back for seconds! And yes… our staff couldn’t resist either. 😉

🌎 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! 🌿
