Claremore Public Schools

Let’s welcome Miss Chloe Zickefoose back to the Zebra family in today’s New Staff Feature!🦓♥📸 Chloe is the Claremore Public Schools District Communications Specialist. She is a CHS Alum from the Class of 2020. You will usually see her with a camera in hand and on a mission! She is a part of documenting school events and activities, capturing the educational experience at all levels, content creation, and conveying the CPS District goals! When asked what she likes about Claremore Public Schools best, she said, “There is such a strong sense of support and community within CPS; in this particular role, I get to see firsthand the passion teachers and administrators have and how our students, from all grade levels, benefit from that. Being a Zebra is a special thing, and this role allows me to tell that story and capture those special moments between teachers, staff, families, and students.” Miss Zickefoose enjoys reading (a lot), spending time with her family, traveling, and cheering her brother on at wrestling tournaments and track events. She has three golden doodles, whom she adores. A fun fact about Chloe is as much as she loves reading, she will only read paper/physical copies of books - no audio or e-books! 📚: Any genre - Classics & Realistic Fiction in particular! 🍬: Sour Patch Kids or Reese's M&Ms 🥤: Lavender Iced Coffee 🌈:Yellow 📍: I love a good road trip, wherever that may be! 📝: “With freedom, books, flowers, and the moon, who could not be happy?” - Oscar Wilde Welcome back to the Claremore Zebra Dazzle, Miss Chloe Zickefoose!❤🦓 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Claremore Public Schools sites stood united to honor our heroes this Veterans Day, as spirited assemblies echoed with gratitude and respect. Patriotism is one of the core principles CPS instills in our students, showing love and devotion to this country. These gatherings are more than just events; they're heartfelt tributes to the men and women who've selflessly defended our freedom. The applause served as a symphony of gratitude, to recognize the sacrifices made by our veterans. Claremore's schools became a canvas of red, white, and blue, painting a vivid picture of appreciation for the men and women who have sacrificed for our country. ❤🤍💙🦓 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Let’s welcome Mrs. Kendra Cagle to the Zebra family in today’s New Teacher Feature!🦓❤ Mrs. Cagle is a Claremore High School collaborative lab teacher! This is her first year at CPS! She graduated from Rogers State University with her Bachelor of Science and Masters of Art from Liberty University. When asked what she likes about Claremore Public Schools best, she said, “I love that Claremore is a big school district with a small family feel. No campus is an island, and everyone is willing to reach out and be there for each other.” She chose to teach because “I want to be an encouraging and positive presence in kids' lives. Everyone learns differently, and some kids may struggle with that. I want to be one of the people who remind them every day that they have immense potential and helps them reach it.” Claremore was an easy choice for Mrs. Cagle, “our son has been a Zebra since he was 3, and we have experienced so much love and support from the school system. I wanted to be a part of that.” Mrs. Cagle and her husband, Rick, have a son who also attends CPS. She loves reading and traveling! A fun fact about Mrs. Cagle is 6’1 and is always down to get a new tattoo! 📚: The Hunger Games series 📽: While You Were Sleeping or The Proposal 🍽: Hummus and Pita Chips, rainier cherries, & Gardettos 🍬: Anything Sour 🥤: Water 🌈:Green 📍 : My dream vacation is Scotland 📝: “You don’t have to fix everything.

Claremore Public Schools continues its commitment to leadership development by participating in the Leadership Rogers County (LRC) program. The LRC program provides a valuable opportunity for community members to grow as leaders within the educational system and the community. For the education aspect of this program, last year's CPS participants, Kellye Schuck and Darren Grisham, had the privilege of hosting this year's members at their sites, Catalayah Elementary and Claremore High School. The LRC members got a firsthand experience to engage in the many opportunities CPS has to offer and see what being a Zebra is all about. This year, two CPS administrators were accepted in this year's LRC Class, Mrs. Mary Bopp and Mrs. Chrissy Willard. Thank you, Leadership Rogers County for this opportunity to show the innovation and excellence of Claremore Public Schools. ❤🦓 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
