Claremore Public Schools

Catalayah's very own Mr. D and the 3rd grade teachers took their students to Owasso for Link Up! 🎶🦓 Link Up is an educational resource that introduces students in grades 3–5 to the orchestra through an interactive curriculum. Students learn to sing and play an instrument in the classroom before performing with a professional orchestra in their community. Our 3rd graders performed 5 songs with the Tulsa symphony Orchestra; 2 on recorder, 2 singing, and one with rhythmic clapping. They did such a great job and had a blast, all while repping their #CPSZEBRAPRIDE!!

Over at Westside, Mrs. Whitaker's little Zebras have been studying the butterfly lifecycle! Take a peek at these pictures as they observe their growing caterpillars! 🐛🦋 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

“What the world needs now, is a lot more love! What the world needs now, is lifting each other up.” 🎶💕 These are the lyrics Mrs. Boomershine's class sang at Claremont's Rise and Shine! They performed a song that serves as a wonderful reminder to be kind and help our friends! This was a fun and uplifting experience that allowed them to demonstrate the life principles they learn and shows us fellow Zebras how the Great Expectations are implemented into their curriculum! 🦓♥🎶 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

At the beginning of the year, members of the class of 2024 transformed their parking spot into a vibrant canvas. Whether it's splashes of color, bold designs, or witty quotes, their car's home base is as unique as they are. Thank you, Bryce Langley, for capturing some of those masterpieces.
