Be the “I” in kind. What a simple, but powerful concept! Over at Westside teachers gather and worked together to lead this meaningful and fun group project. All staff members got to get into some paint to leave their mark on this one! Every single staff member from teachers, custodians, instructional assistants, cafeteria staff, and principals at all of our sites plays a part and have a hand in helping students in becoming their best selves & finding personal success. This was represented through this project and we just love it!! We love seeing Westside showcase kindness and have a reminder for all students going into the new year! May we all be the "I" in Kind!!❤🎨🖌🦓 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE #Kindness

The Lyons Family (Owen, 5th grade, Austin, 3rd grade, and Mrs. Lyons, Counselor from Westside) road-tripped all the way to Kennebunkport, ME making a few stops on the way there and back. One day they stopped at Lake Erie, where they learned about sea glass and shipwrecks from a local searching for the glass along the beach. Mrs. Lyons even found her very own piece of sea glass along the shorelines during the brief stop! They spent several days in Kennebunkport, Maine, enjoying the local seafood, having fun at the beach, and taking in all the beautiful historic scenery. On the way home, they stopped in Cooperstown, NY, making it just in time for Hall of Fame Weekend, where they saw many of baseball’s big-name players during the Parade of Legends and explored the museum. They also stopped to see Niagara Falls! Wherever you may go, just wear your Claremore Zebra logo and send your photo to jbrace@claremore.k12.ok.us! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
