Mr. Winiecke took our amazing 4th & 5th grade choir to Circle The State With Song, and wow—what an unforgettable experience! This special event brought together student singers from schools across Oklahoma to lift their voices as one, celebrating music, teamwork, and the joy of singing.

Our students sang their hearts out, represented our school with pride, and experienced the magic of being part of something so much bigger than themselves. From the energy in the room to the powerful sound of of voices together, it was truly inspiring!

We are so proud of our choir and grateful to Mr. Winiecke for giving our students this incredible opportunity.

Creativity was woven into every project! In Mrs. Ratcliff’s art class, our 3rd grade WIN students designed and created their own potholders—choosing colors, patterns, and helping each other along the way. So proud of these artists! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Attendance Is Essential at Catalayah!

Being at school every single day truly matters. When students are present consistently, they build stronger academic skills, form meaningful relationships, and stay on track for graduation and future success. Every missed day is missed instruction — and nothing replaces learning that happens in the classroom.

🎉🍩 Our FIRST 44-Day Attendance Celebration! 🍩🎉
This morning, we proudly celebrated our first 44 days of perfect attendance with Breakfast with the Principals!

Congratulations to Mrs. Desy’s class!
Mrs. Shuck and Mrs. Basks delivered donuts and juice straight to the classroom to celebrate this outstanding achievement. What a fun (and delicious!) way to recognize the power of showing up every day!

🛝 12 Days of Perfect Attendance = Extra Recess
Way to go to these classes for 12 straight days of perfect attendance:
Mrs. Castle, Mrs. Haltom, Ms. Johnson, Mrs. Casey, Mrs. Desy, Mrs. James, Mrs. Newman, Ms. Thomas, Ms. Toops, Ms. Loyd,Mrs. Bates, Mrs. Ritter, Mrs. Geranen, Ms. Ford, Ms. Lopez, Mrs. Roller, Mrs. Haltmar, and Mrs. Ward

These classes went above and beyond with 26 days of perfect attendance:
Mrs. Desy, Ms. Johnson, Ms. Thomas, Mrs. Haltom, Mrs. Castle, Mrs. Casey, Ms. Loyd, Mrs. Geranen, Mrs. James, and Ms. Toops

Let’s keep up the great attendance!
