Mr. Winiecke’s music students have been learning all about the triangle! They’ve been practicing how to read their music carefully and, just as importantly, learning when to rest.
Playing the triangle may look simple, but it takes focus, timing, and great listening skills. One tiny ting at just the right moment can make the whole song sparkle!
We love seeing our students grow as musicians — learning that sometimes the most important note is knowing exactly when to play… and when to pause.

Kindness is in the air at Catalayah, and it’s been so special to watch it spread throughout our building!
Our amazing counselor, Mrs. McComb, has assigned secret missions to each grade level — and even one for our staff members! 🤫💛 From quiet acts of service to intentional words of encouragement, it has been so much fun seeing students and teachers complete their missions without others even knowing.
Mrs. McComb also created the sweetest Kindness Wall, where students can give shout-outs by writing kind things they see others doing. It’s filling up quickly with notes of encouragement, gratitude, and positivity — proof that kindness truly is contagious! ✍️✨
We challenge YOU to finish out the week strong!
Look for ways to serve.
Speak words that lift others up.
Notice the good.
Be the reason someone smiles. 😊
Let’s continue spreading kindness everywhere we go! ❤️🖤🤍

Earlier this week, Mrs. Meyers took Mrs. Hall’s class outside for library time, and they were able to enjoy reading under our outdoor gazebo!
What a beautiful day to take our books outside and soak up some sunshine while diving into great stories. There’s just something extra special about reading in the fresh air! 🌿✨
We love finding creative ways to make learning even more enjoyable at Catalayah Elementary!

Last week we were lucky enough to have the Mentor Team from Claremore High School Student Council come spend the morning with our students!
They arrived bright and early and kicked things off by dancing at Rise & Shine — bringing the energy and the smiles! 💃🕺 After that, they joined in on some of our Valentine’s parties and made the day even more special for our students.
We absolutely loved having them here at Catalayah! Thank you, CHS StuCo, for investing in our kids and showing what Zebra pride is all about! ❤️🖤

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.
