Pick up an application to be a Wednesday Walking Pal or sign your student up in the office at Roosa, Westside or Claremont. Thank you for Volunteers For Youth for coordinating this program. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Playing a sport is not just about the game itself but about life lessons, commitment, determination, hard work, learning how to improve, to sacrifice, to be a team player. It's about living out the #CPSZEBRAPRIDE legacy for the rest of your life in all you do. Congrats to these senior softball players who took on that challenge!

At Claremore Public Schools, we strive to create a work atmosphere for our teachers and staff that is collaborative, supportive, and stimulating. A productive learning environment for students depends on the ability of our teachers to share ideas and best practices with other educators and to have access to the most up-to-date training in the field of education. By recruiting the very best education professionals, we can be sure of the continued success of our students. While your kids won't be in our classrooms on September 30, all of our teachers and staff will be participating in professional development workshops presented by Solution Tree. This PLC training is made possible through the GEAR UP Grant and District PD. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE #STRONGSCHOOLSSTRONGCOMMUNITYZEBRASTRONG
