☕ It's the little things that WARM your heart! This morning, our sweet 5th-grade friend, Kolby Hilburn, brought hot chocolate to the Westside staff on outside duty! This little act of kindness had the duty teachers in tears (of joy, of course. )
☕ The support we have from our families, community, and especially our students are what keeps us going! Thank you to all that have sent encouraging notes, little gifts, or pick-me-ups to our teachers!
☕ It means more to us than you know. Even on this bitter cold day - It's A Great Day To Be A Zebra!

Do you remember how you felt when an older student encouraged you, gave you a compliment, or even just a high five?
Claremont 4th graders made our kindergarten students feel special on their way to specials this week.
Those smiles on their faces are a reflection of the smiles in their hearts!
You can bet this feeling is something they will remember.

Do you know what a dichotomous key does? Mrs. Simpson's class can answer this!
Students in Mrs. Simpson's Science class used a dichotomous key to identify different types of rocks. A dichotomous key is used for the identification of organisms based on a series of choices between alternative characters.

We are fortunate to have US Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Zachary Kappler visit Claremore's NJROTC Corps of Cadets.
The Corps of Cadets is mustering (in uniform) in the Maker Space to hear Chief Kappler speak about his career in the US Coast Guard (USCG) and USCG opportunities.
Chief Kappler drove from OKC, as there is only one USCG recruiting office in Oklahoma.
Our Corps of Cadets Commanding Officer, Cayden Hudson, interviewed Chief Kappler for the "Cadet Minute." Watch it here ➡ https://youtu.be/0d9ke-tAqFE
