Remember to SPRING FORWARD! Daylight Saving Time gives us the opportunity to make better use of the natural daylight. Over the past 100 years, Daylight Savings Time has seen several changes on how it has been observed. Who knew that an hour could make such a difference in our lives? #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Our first grade students have been working on such a cute wall display for our hallway. Each student picked a staff member, lunch lady or custodian to tell us why they think they are worth more than gold!!! They turned out so cute!!! Thanks 1st graders for showing our staff some love! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

🎗JOIN THE FIGHT! Order today! Cancer may feel like someone else's fight if you have not experienced it in your own life. But CHS has decided THEIR FIGHT IS OUR FIGHT! Over the past four years, the ZUAC (Zebras United Against Cancer) Committee has helped raise over 9K to help our ZEBRA family members fighting this disease directly. We have supported students & employees with Lymphoma, Prostate Cancer, Leukemia, Ewings Sarcoma, Breast Cancer, & Pancreatic Cancer in our elementary schools, our junior high, and our high school. We have experienced this disease as a family district-wide. This is why our theme this year is "THEIR FIGHT IS OUR FIGHT" because family takes care of family. Although all our clubs contribute to the fundraising, the ZUAC t-shirt sales are the largest part of our efforts. We hope you will be a part of showing our #CPSZEBRPRIDE and giving hope to our ZEBRA family members. Zebras United Against Cancer t-shirt now on sale.

**Staff Spotlight** 2nd Grade Teacher, Mrs. Wallis I went to High School at Broken Arrow and Catoosa. After that I attended and graduated from Rogers State University. I love the personable connections I make with each student. I love getting to see them not only grow academically within the year that I have them, but also continue to grow year after year. I have been teaching 2 years in the classroom and have been working for Claremore Public Schools for 9 years. This is my first year teaching at Catalayah. I live on a farm so I am usually taking care of some sort of animal. During the warmer months you can always catch me outside either swimming, camping or doing a craft project. I married my high school sweetheart, Dakota. He works at QuikTrip. We have 2 kids Aimory 3rd grade and Dawson is in Pre-K. We have been together for almost 15 years. One thing I want to do that I have never done before is going to Bora Bora. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
