🔬🐷 Biomed in Action! Our Biomedical students rolled up their sleeves for a hands-on learning experience, dissecting a pig to explore anatomy and body systems up close. This lab provided students with a deeper understanding of organ structure, function, and how the body works as a whole, preparing them for future careers in health and scientific fields. Real-world science. Real-world skills. #CPSZebraPride #BiomedInAction

We Will Never Forget: 30 Years Later Earlier this month, WRJH had the honor of hosting the Journey of Hope Memorial Tour, commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing. As a lasting tribute, a cutting from the Survivor Tree now stands proudly in front of the junior high—serving as a living reminder of the tragedy, the resilience of our state, and the enduring spirit of the Oklahoma Standard. https://www.claremore.k12.ok.us/o/cps/article/2139225

🎨🧩 Piece by Piece: Art in Collaboration! In this creative group project, 18 talented students came together to recreate a reference photo using the grid method—one square at a time! Each student was given a random 2x2 inch section of the original image and challenged to replicate it on a larger 7x7 inch scale. Once all the pieces were complete, they were carefully assembled like a giant puzzle and glued onto large craft paper, forming a collaborative artwork approximately 3 feet by 3.5 feet in size, 1,470 square inches of teamwork! Students then worked together to adjust value, blending, and proportions across each piece to create a unified final image. This project not only sharpened their drawing skills but also showed the power of collaboration and attention to detail. Amazing job, artists! 🎨👏 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
