Earlier this month, Claremore High School’s National Honor Society hosted its 13th Annual College Connection Night, bringing together 15 colleges, universities, and career organizations from across the region to help students and families plan for life after high school.

Representatives from schools shared insider tips on college admissions, scholarships, financial aid, and campus life — giving students the tools to create a clear plan for their future.

Thank you to our college reps, NHS members, and CHS staff for making this night such a valuable and inspiring event for our Zebras! 🦓💫

Learning to learn together!

Our Kindergarten students teamed up for a fun, interactive activity designed to build early socialization and collaboration skills. 🤝 Through hands-on play and shared problem-solving, they’re learning how to communicate, cooperate, and care for one another one smile at a time.

These are the foundational moments that shape confident learners and kind friends. ❤️

Let's throw back to October when Mrs. Ward’s first graders mixed a little spooky fun with some serious science on Halloween! 🎃🧪

Students became mini scientists as they created their own homemade lava lamps using water, oil, food coloring, and Alka-Seltzer tablets. Along the way, they explored:
✨ How oil and water separate
✨ How food coloring sinks through the oil to reach the water
✨ How the Alka-Seltzer reaction creates bubbles that lift the color to the top — just like a glowing, bubbling lava lamp!

It was the perfect blend of hands-on learning and Halloween magic!

Claremont Day at RSU was a day to remember!

As part of our Partners in Education program, RSU and RCB Bank treated Claremont Elementary students like VIPs, complete with basketball fun, a free-throw contest, and hot pizza. Students also received stockings, candy, water bottles, and even surprise bikes!

We’re incredibly grateful to RSU, RCB Bank, and a generous private donor for making this day so special. It was a powerful example of community, joy, and partnership in action.❤🦓

📚✨ Readers Are Leaders! ✨📚

Westside 4th graders shared their love of literacy this week by reading to Ms. Palmer’s class!

It was a sweet sight to see our older students model reading fluency, kindness, and leadership while connecting with their younger peers through storytelling. These special moments foster a lifelong love of learning, and build friendships across grade levels.

Way to go, Zebras! 🦓❤

Today, Mr. Frazier and CPS administration honored some of our incredible educators with stipends made possible by the Oklahoma Teacher Empowerment Program—a powerful step forward in Oklahoma legislation.

Claremore Public Schools is proud to be one of only 80+ districts, out of more than 500 public school districts in Oklahoma, to complete the rigorous process documenting our teachers' pedagogy, leadership, and the characteristics that elevate the profession of teaching. That’s because we believe in showing our teachers that they are seen and valued, and that we couldn’t do what we do without them.

There were tears of gratitude, hugs of appreciation, and hearts full of #CPSZEBRAPRIDE. Thank you to every educator who inspires, leads, and shapes the future. Mr. Frazier spoke with great admiration about the character and impact of these teachers—and the bright future ahead for Claremore Public Schools.

We were honored to have Senator Adam Pugh join us to share words of encouragement and appreciation for the difference our educators make. Senator Ally Seifried, a passionate advocate for education, also joined us to help celebrate the heart and soul of our schools and the teachers in her district.

It is a GREAT day to be a Zebra! ❤️🦓

Snap, Crackle… Flash! 📸✨

Check out Ms. Johnson’s photography class in action! Students are getting hands-on experience photographing eggs using flashlights to explore the differences between soft and hard lighting. This creative exercise helps them understand how light shapes depth, shadow, and value—key skills in mastering photographic techniques.

With so much creativity and curiosity in the room, these young photographers are truly rising to the challenge — talk about some Great Egg-spectations! 🥚💡
