It is December 1773 and Mrs. Kropp's Social Studies Secret Agents are using multiple types of ciphers and puzzles to help the Sons of Liberty unlock the door to their meeting room. Sam Adams, John Hancock, and Paul Revere are counting on their sleuthing skills and knowledge to find the code, but time is running out. If the meeting happens, it will start a massive push for freedom; if not, we forever under the King's tyrannical rule. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

They say the Brainiac Brawl puts the 'FUN" in fundraiser! Jolynn Dotson, CPSF Board Member, shared, "Another successful Brainiac Brawl in the books! This event takes a village and I am so grateful to be apart of this village. A community coming together to support our teachers, students, education, and learning is beyond heartwarming." The Foundation gives grants to individual teachers and school sites, administers the Bluejacket Memorial Scholarship, provides specialized programs that enhance the learning process and creates community awareness for Claremore Public Schools. As a private, non-profit organization, the CPSF depends on the contributions of individuals and corporate donors to fund its programs. Donors impact Claremore children and the entire community by providing a better future for all of its citizens. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

As we watch Miss Hall and the STEM club build their robots, those of us old enough hear George Jetson saying, "Hooba-dooba-dooba!" to express our wonder and astonishment.

Stay tuned; videos will be posted after they are complete. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Lanterns are a part of the traditional celebration, and the color red represents luck. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Second place was 21 clauses. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
