Claremore's Daley Reynolds​ was one of those students. "Having a voice is something that's very empowering in general," said Daley Reynolds, a senior at Claremore High School.

We have babies!!! Mrs. Wallis is teaching her 2nd grade class about he life cycle of a chicken. They learned that it takes 21 days for the egg to hatch and that the chicks have a special beak at birth called an "egg tooth" to help them break out of their shell. The class not only learned about the life cycle but also about the anatomy of the egg and a hen. They got to witness the egg cracking and the baby chicks being born! They learned about the incubator and the process of hatching the chicks as well as what it takes to care for the chicks after they are born. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Claremore celebrates the 100+ Paraprofessionals in our district! Thank you for EVERYTHING you do for our students and teachers!

Claremore Agriculture Education , tries to provide the most advanced tools for our students to be successful in whatever they choose. That also includes our metal fabrication classes. Earlier this year a grant was submitted for a state of the art virtual welding simulator. This simulator allows students to MIG, TIG or stick weld. It also simulates the 4 welding positions of flat, horizontal, vertical or overhead on numerous joint types. Students can choose from T joints, lap, butt, pipe on plate, pipe on pipe or beads on plate while incorporating different weave patterns. After completing the weld, it then gives them a numerical score and shows them exactly what they need to work on. A student can then step over to the actual welding booth to implement those minor changes to advance in their learning capability. This machine will also save Claremore Ag Ed from using up large amounts of consumables and expensive metal during the very beginning stages of learning how to weld while also providing a much safer working environment. Students are comfortable with VR technology. Check it out ▶ https://youtu.be/TGJNFATggWY

📚 THANK YOUR LIBRARIAN TODAY 📚 “A library is a good place to go when you feel unhappy, for there, in a book, you may find encouragement and comfort. A library is a good place to go when you feel bewildered or undecided, for there, in a book, you may have your question answered. Books are good company, in sad times and happy times, for books are people - people who have managed to stay alive by hiding between the covers of a book." [Letters of Note; Troy (MI, USA) Public Library, 1971] ― E.B. White It's National Library Workers Day and we can't think of any better way to celebrate than to visit your school librarian and check out a book. I know they will have a recommendation for whatever you want to feel between the pages of a good book. THANK YOU!!!
