ZUAC Festival β Zebras United Against Cancer
What a day to remember! Our campus came together for the annual ZUAC Festival, raising funds and support for our fellow Zebras who are bravely fighting cancer.
From a fun-filled kickball game to food trucks galore, the energy was high and the spirit was even higher!
The highlight of the day was an intense flag football showdown between the juniors and seniors β and after a fierce battle, the seniors took home the win!
Our cheerleaders brought the laughs with a hilarious halftime performance that had the whole crowd cheering.
Most importantly, the event helped raise meaningful support and funds for members of our Zebra family facing cancer.
Huge thanks to everyone who showed up, donated, played, and cheered β you made this ZUAC festival an incredible celebration of strength, unity, and compassion.




π©β¨ Things are getting sweet in Mrs. Hoffer-Williamsβ Art 1 class!

While the classroom got a little messy, the results are totally worth it β these delicious-looking art pieces are making our hallways brighter (and maybe making us a little hungry too π).
Amazing work, artists!
π Our Junior Students Attended the Opportunity Hub at NTC Claremore!
Hosted by Claremore Economic Development, this yearβs Opportunity Hub connected students with nearly 40 vendors representing career opportunities, colleges, and valuable community resources.
