Claremore Public Schools

❓Did you know that CPR can double or triple a person's chance of survival? ‼️ Oklahoma law requires that all students enrolled in a public school are to receive CPR instruction prior to graduation. Last week, we had 228 seniors complete their CPR training!!! ❤️Ordinary people can do extraordinary things when they have the skills, confidence and bravery to step-up and help a stranger in need! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Nothing is going to stop the Claremore 1st grade Black team from playing their game! After the opposing team canceled, the coaches decided the show must go on… They put a team of coaches, parents and high school players together to scrimmage against them. This was so much fun for the kids AND the fans. Word on the street is that these “old timers” are still recovering from the 90 to 19 stampede by the 1st graders!! 🏈 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
