Mr. Isenbart’s high school TSA students created STEM activities and stopped by to share them with the 5th graders!!
The TSA students were divided into groups and each 5th grade class had a different lesson. They made rockets that flew, cars that zoomed and separated oil from water. STEM is FUN!

In honor of “I Love Public Schools Day,” we want to recognize someone who has been a major supporter of Claremore Public School over the years, Mr. Don McGuire!
When asked why Don is passionate about public school, he said “Because of two public school teacher's, I'm the first person in my family to graduate from both high school and college, as they encouraged me to go to college after the military... I'm 72 and just trying to be an encouragement to those teachers who have gone through so much and let them know that I’m grateful for what they do. It's teachers like them that made a difference in my life, and I want to encourage them and say thank you, I care."
Don was raised in Tulsa, but left to join the Army during Vietnam. When he came home from the service, he married his high school sweetheart, Sharon. He worked at a factory and would go to college at night, and eventually earned his degree in Criminal Justice. After he retired, he and his wife moved to Pryor to take care of his dad. He ended up being a substitute teacher at Pryor Middle School and High School for 9 years.
After his dad was moved to the VA center in Claremore, Don and Sharon bought a house near Westside Elementary to be close to him. They fell in love with Claremore and started taking donuts to Westside and Claremont, just to brighten the teachers’ days.
Thank you Don and Sharon for your constant kindness, support, and love for Claremore Public Schools!
