💗 This is what it’s all about.
At Catalayah Elementary, our Zebra family came together in a beautiful way, to celebrate Mrs. Griffin finishing her breast cancer treatment.
Students and staff filled the halls with pink to honor her journey, lifting her up with joy, hugs, and plenty of love. Because at Claremore, we don’t just say we’re a family we show up for each other because we are one.
Tomorrow night at the football game, we’ll keep the spirit going strong during our district and community wide Pink Out for the month of October. Wear your pink, bring your pride, and help us show the world what Grit, Community, and Purpose look like Zebra style. 🦓
🎀 Once a Zebra, always a Zebra.
