The students who have completed the same stringent requirement of the Salutatorians but finished with 4 highest GPAs are the Class of 2021 Valedictorians. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

The second Friday in May is #schoolprday, also called National School Communicators Day. A day where schools recognize the work behind the scenes of those who tell our school's story, share celebrations, and keep us informed.
Yesterday we celebrated the team behind the communications curtin. Our Communications Specialists or as some often refer to them, "the Facebook lady" or "the website lady" or because they play many roles at their site it could be the "front desk lady", the "library lady", the "camera lady"... you get the picture (see what I did there?).
As a team, we want to thank all of our Claremore Public School staff, students, and community, for sharing their #CPSZEBRAPRIDE through excellent pictures, updates, and content. For without you, there wouldn't be a story to tell.

π·Vanessa Mudd - Roosa
π·Ashley Troyer - Claremont
