Claremore Public Schools

🌟 Catalayah Celebrates Character Every Day! 🌟 At our school, every student can be recognized with a "Character Counts" certificate for showing positive character traits! Any adult in the building can award one when they notice a student making a difference by following life principles that guide us to become better people. When a student receives a certificate, their teacher celebrates them immediately, and then the recognition continues in the morning at Rise and Shine! The students' names are called, they stand tall, and the school gives them two power claps in support! 🎉 One lucky student is randomly chosen each day, earning a special prize donated by our wonderful local businesses. Their photo is proudly posted on our “Character Counts” wall alongside every certificate earned throughout the year – a space students love visiting to find their names! This year, we've ensured character counts everywhere, adding “Cafeteria Character Counts” and recognizing students on the bus, too! 🚌🍎 We’re proud to honor students every day for the positive choices that lift our school community! #cpszebrapride

The students dived into fascinating bat facts, learning cool things like how bats are the only mammals that can truly fly and that some bats can eat over 1,000 bugs every night—keeping our skies bug-free! 🌌 After exploring bat stories and sharing their favorite facts in creative paragraphs, they painted beautiful sunset scenes, practiced listening skills with a fun directed-drawing, and wrapped up the day with a bat-tastic math project! Using 3-digit addition and subtraction, they created their own “math bats,” making learning fun and spooky! 🦇🎨✏️

The U.S. Army brought AS11, a remarkable 64-foot, 30-ton tractor-trailer, to our school, allowing students to participate in Operation Firebreak. This immersive experience used eight virtual reality helicopter stations, where students teamed up to tackle forest fires. Equipped with Oculus headsets and motion-actuating chairs, the simulation provided a thrilling and realistic glimpse into the challenges pilots face. This visit showcased the Army’s innovative approach to engaging and educating our community through cutting-edge technology. Experiences like these give our students a more realistic view of the possibilities they have for their future through the armed forces. We may have a few helicopter pilots in our midst! #cpszebrapride
