The Bluejacket Scholarship was established by Donald and Estelle Bluejacket and is administered by the Claremore Public Schools Foundation. Having no children of their own, they arranged to leave a lasting gift to Claremore students. It was the Bluejacket's wish to give back to Claremore students in a meaningful and lasting way. In 2005, their estate was given to the Claremore Public Schools Foundation to invest for future Claremore students' generations. I
n 2007, Sam and Hazel Lessley added to the Bluejacket Scholarship endowment with a substantial contribution. The Bluejackets directed the Claremore Public Schools Foundation that scholarships be awarded to students "with proven records of academic achievement."

It's FLAG DAY. Here are our new flags and poles at Claremore High School made possible with the #ZebraBond2019.
We'd love to see your flags flying. Post a pic in the comments.
It is the day, 244 years ago, when Congress commemorated Betsy Ross' creation of the Stars & Stripes as our national flag.
The flag has looked different throughout those years, of course, 27 variations, actually, as America grew through the colonies to the 50 states represented in the white stars today.

Mr. Drew Cumming, a CHS history teacher, led eight CHS students on an educational travel tour to Washington DC this summer. For most, students have flashbacks of class discussions and pages and pages of assigned reading in their textbooks—but there's nothing like seeing and touching U.S. history firsthand, like reliving significant historical times that shaped the world they live in today. There is no better way to connect the words on the pages of their textbooks than to experience the people, places, and culture for themselves. Who knows, this trip may inspire them to become key players in American history themselves.
The CHS roster included Levi Craig (9), Coleby Craig (12), Ethan Harrison(12), Ethan Hays (11), Eli Fouse (10), Gannon Riggs (10), Meadow Hiner (9), McKinley Grimes (11), and Rowan Brown (12- Adair Public Schools).

CPS teachers took part in the OK Donors Choose Grant process earlier this year. Thirty-four teachers at CPS received funding for their proposals, equaling almost $34K in grants.
Mrs. Kropp, Roosa 5th-grade teacher, received 10 "surfboard" desks. It's no surprise that physical activity is linked to higher academic performance, better health, and improved behavior. Mrs. Kropp knows there is no better way to show your support for a student-centered classroom than creating a classroom from a child's point of view.
