Through a partnership with the RCLC - the Rogers County Literacy Council - each 2nd and 3rd grade student received books to add to their shelves at home!

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."

Volleyball started a new tradition - leaving a legacy on and off the court. Beginning this year, each senior will choose a brick in the locker room to leave their handprint, name, and number representing their effort in building this program. This year's seniors sacrificed their blood, sweat, tears, and time for something bigger than themselves. We look forward to seeing ALL our seniors represented on this wall. May these bricks be a reminder for those who come after you of the foundation of sacrifice it takes to build a ZEBRA NATION. #CPSZEBARPRIDE
