This weekend, your Claremore Varsity Dance Team traveled to Orlando, FL, to compete at nationals. There were over 800 performances this weekend and competitors from other countries, such as Ecuador. The competition was diverse and fierce, but the team's attention to detail, skill execution, and creativity prevailed.
💃
They are bringing home a 2nd place in Medium Varsity Open and a 3rd place in Medium Varsity Kick! They didn't place in hip hop, but we are still very proud of how well they performed. It's a GREAT DAY to be a ZEBRA!

Last week was National #FFAWeek. Many former FFA members can probably recite at least the 1st paragraph of the FFA Creed, maybe more. You know, "I believe in the future of agriculture...." The FFA Motto has always been Mr. Boyer's favorite, though. He explains that to him, it truly describes all of life. No matter what you do, those 12 simple words pretty well sum up what the joys & struggles of what life is all about.
🔵 Learning to Do
🔵 Doing to Learn
🔵 Earning to Live
🔵 Living to Serve.
Many only see a select few individuals in the Blue & Gold, but for every student you see, two more are sitting in a classroom or at home, hopefully learning about agriculture. Let's not idolize one & forget about the other.
Happy National FFA Week!! Enjoy the throwback picture of Mr. Boyer and little humor. Any FFA alums out there have a throwback photo of you in you Blue & Gold or at an FFA activity - please share it in the comments.

One of the highlights of National FFA Week is serving our community. Today @ClaremmoreFFA members packed bags for Food 4 Kids. This community service activity is one of the best programs we participate in throughout the year.
When students leave school for the weekend, the last thing they should have to worry about is how they are going to get their next meal. Food 4 Kids sends bags of nutritious food home for students at CPS that are part of the program. Having the opportunity to give back is an essential part of FFA.

The CHS WRESTLING TEAM is off to the State Tournament! Leave everything on the mat and show them our #CPSZEBRPRIDE.
TAKE STATE - MAKE HISTORY.
WRJH Girls in STEM Club participated in the Tulsa Regional STEM Alliance's Women STEM event. The girls entered a shoe challenge to design a versatile woman's shoe appropriate for a corporate and manufacturing setting. One of our teams took 1st place in the safest shoe design! These young women also participated in breakout sessions, including a science experiment, using robotics, inquiry-based math, and an engineering challenge.
Dr. Kayse Shrum, Oklahoma Secretary of Science, was the keynote speaker encouraging the girls to "Be the Best Version of Yourself" and to "Dream Big and Live with Purpose."
Thank you, Tulsa Regional STEM Alliance, for this inspirational opportunity! Wendee Henry of Claremore was also honored as a Woman of STEM and was a guest at our table!

Mrs. Shilling's 6th-grade choir students went to Owasso High School and participated in the "Circle the State with Song" festival. In class, students auditioned and learned eight concert songs. Along with others who qualified from the northeast region of the state, our students spent the day working with Michael Shimp, the guest clinician. The CTSWS choir ended their experience performing a concert.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to walk across Africa? In Mrs. Jarrett's geography class, each student was assigned a different area to research and describe the different physical features of it in a presentation to their peers.

Claremore's technology program has been crazy busy, hosting a VEX tournament and a TSA conference these past two weeks. Last weekend there were 60 VEX teams, and this weekend over 400 students here to compete at the TSA Mini-Conference.
Claremore students competed well at both events, but Mr. Isenbart is most proud of the #CPSZEBRAPRIDE they demonstrated. Students came in early and stayed late the past three weeks preparing to make the competitions a success. Students made trophies, printed judges' packets, set up fields, helped organize and run both competitions.
The community support was unbelievable as well. Parents, advisors, teachers, former students, members of this community, as well as people from surrounding communities came to help—all a testament to the significant contributions the program and Mr. Isenbart have made in his tenure here.
Thank you to everyone for all the hours, sacrifices, positive attitudes, and the support everyone has gives to the Claremore TSA and Robotics programs.
