COUNTDOWN TO GRADUATION - 18 Days brought to you by the Hurt Family.
Jarreka Hurt has been a Zebra since Pre-K. She’s attended Claremont & Catalayah Elementary, WRJH, and CHS. Active in athletics, Christian Club, FCA, FUZE, Native American Student Association, National Honor Society, Student Council, Spirit Squad, Red Army, and Young Republican - this girl bleeds #ZebraRed! The thing that she will remember most about her experience at CPS is the assemblies held at the high school.
Both of Jarreka’s parents are CPS employees. Coach and Mrs. LaRonna Hurt have been a huge part of the CPS system for 14 years. Coach Hurt is the Assitant Athletic Director and Head Football Coach but has also served as a CHS Asst. Principal. His fondest memory is having his daughter on the sidelines with him as the ball girl for the past six years.
Mrs. LaRonna Hurt is a Reading Specialist at WRJH. She shared her fondest memory with her daughter during her CPS career, As Jarreka's first-grade teacher, I strived to treat her the same as the other students (she says I was a lot harder on her than the others). Before conducting individual assessments with each student, I made them feel comfortable with small talk. After Jarreka entered the testing room with me, I used my ‘teacher voice’, welcomed her, and asked her how she was doing. She looked around the room and said, "Mom, it's just us." Having her in my first-grade class was special!

Mrs. Hatfield has been teaching at Claremore High School for 26 years. She teaches Chemistry (AP/Pre-AP) and Physical Science. When asked her fondest memory she shared, "I've loved the convenience of having my child nearby for his entire CPS career. He's had wonderful teachers at all his schools who have mentored and guided him and I've been lucky to have lunch with him almost every day at the high school. It will be quite an adjustment when he graduates!"

20 DAYS TO GRADUATION is brought to you by Jessica & Preston Peck
Preston has attended CPS since he walked through the Claremont doors for Pre-K, where his mom teaches. He is actively involved in athletics and says, " Playing tennis has been one of the most therapeutic things in my life since 7th grade." Also on his resume are AP classes, Christian Club, FCA, and Red Army. The connections he built will be one of his most memorable over the years as a Zebra, sharing, "Just being around other people that fully enjoy the same activity I do and becoming friends with shared interests." The teachers who have helped push me through the classes he's taken and made sure he was okay when they saw him looking down.
Mrs. Peck has been at Claremore Public Schools for 17 years and is currently a 1st-grade teacher at Claremont. One of her fondest memories is watching her son play in the OSSAA State Tennis Tournament his freshman year, where he and his doubles partner podiumed in 5th place. Another thing Mrs. Peck (Class of 1999) and her son will share is the title CHS Alum after he walks across the stage on Lantow Field 22 years after she did (Class of '99).

At Monday's Board of Education meeting, members of the board had to privilege to do one of the duties they enjoy most - recognize the accomplishment of CPS students.
Swimmers Sylvia Admire and Brenlyn Vickery were recognized for their 6A State Swim Meet performance. Sylvia is the 100 & 200 freestyle STATE CHAMPION.
Kai Schultz was recognized for his wrestling STATE RUNNER-UP victory, academic performance with a GPA over 4.0, and 100 win club status.
And although the wins are nice, the grit they show, resolve to continue, commitment to excellence, desire to win and motivation to improve they have developed on their way to the "win" that makes us most proud of our student-athletes.
