The Cherokee Nation is receiving $1.8 billion in COVID-19 recovery funds as part of a historic investment in Indian Country. We at Claremore Public schools want to make sure that our students and families are aware of this.
Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. and Deputy Chief Bryan Warner’s proposed spending plan for the funds will provide every Cherokee citizen with a total of $2,000 in direct relief assistance. This assistance is for EVERY Cherokee citizen with a blue tribal membership card.
The Cherokee Nation will begin launching applications for its Respond, Recover and Rebuild COVID-19 assistance using FRF funds through the tribe’s online Gadugi Portal. Applications for direct assistance are expected to be online on June 1st or 2nd, but citizens are encouraged to register for the Gadugi Portal now to ease the sign-up process later. It is encouraged that everyone in the household creates a profile on the Gadugi Portal this means each citizen, yes children as well. Follow the link below to the Gadugi Portal.
Please contact Jackie Boyd at jboyd@claremore.k12.ok.us if you need any assistance with this process.

Did you know that critical thinking and problem solving happens in art class?
Students in Mrs. Francis' art class got to practice the art of pendulum painting!
Pendulum paintings are created by attaching a can or bottle of paint to a rope or string and hanging it over a canvas - then, you swing it! As a pendulum swings, it follows an elliptical path. The paint allows children to see the path the pendulum is following, and experiment with how they can alter this.
Students used their critical thinking and problem solving when faced with problems like dripping paint, or how to get the design or pattern they wanted for the outcome.

"Go into the world and do well. Most importantly, go into the world and do GOOD." - Minor Meyers Jr.
5th graders celebrated the end of their Elementary school career with a short ceremony and reception. These students have been faced with many challenges in their time in Elementary school, but they have persevered.
Our hope for them is that they continue to persevere as their journey takes them through Jr. High and High School, and that they are dedicated to the pursuit of integrity, responsibility, self-discipline, and doing good.
Congratulations, 5th grade!
