"The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear." - Buddy the Elf
Our Foreign Language Club filled the high school with joy as they sang Christmas carols from around the world. Their festive singing brought smiles to our faces and warmed our hearts!
Our students in the Northeast Tech Pre-Engineering program exemplified the spirit of service and gratitude by partnering with City Lights to serve meals to those in need. These dedicated students spent hours fundraising to ensure they could not only donate but also personally serve meals to the homeless.
This meaningful act of service was about more than just providing food—it was a demonstration of compassion and gratitude. By giving their time, effort, and resources, these students not only supported individuals facing challenging circumstances but also gained a deeper appreciation for the privilege of helping others. Their commitment reminds us of the profound impact that service and gratitude can have, both on those we serve and on ourselves.
The CHS marching band brought an extra dose of cheer to the holiday season as they proudly marched in the Claremore Christmas Parade. Dressed in festive sweaters and playing joyful tunes, they filled the air with holiday magic, helping the Claremore community embrace the festive spirit in style.
