Our Thanksgiving meal at Claremont was such a special day. We are incredibly grateful for the support that helped make it run so smoothly. A huge thank-you to our CHS StuCo members for jumping in wherever they were needed, our amazing PTO for always showing up for our school, and the staff members who cleaned, served, and shared a meal with our kiddos. To all our families who joined us—thank you for investing your time and love into our students. Moments like these remind us how strong our Claremont community truly is. We hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving week, and we’ll see everyone back on Monday, December 1st!

🎅+🤝+🦓 Attendance Matters, Zebras!

We are excited to see all of our students tomorrow...and every day that follows.

There are only 15 instructional days until winter break — that’s 97.5 hours of valuable learning time left in 2025! Every class, every lesson, every day makes a difference.

Zebs & Santa agree - show up, stay engaged, and finish 2025 strong! 💪❤️🤍

We had a little extra excitement at Claremont Day — four of our students walked away with some incredible surprises! Thanks to the generosity of RSU and RCB, two lucky kiddos won brand-new bikes and two more received festive stockings filled with fun goodies.

The smiles on their faces said it all. Moments like these make our partnership with RSU and RCB so special, and we’re grateful for the joy they brought to our students.

Congratulations to our winners! What a memorable way to wrap up an already amazing Claremont Day!

Claremont Day at RSU was such a blast for our students! The Hillcats rolled out the red carpet for us and treated us like VIPs!

Our kids loved every minute—cheering on the basketball team, watching two of our students jump into a fun free-throw contest and of course, adding in hot, delicious pizza made the whole event feel extra special.

We’re so grateful for everyone who made this day happen. RCB helped get our kids there and spoiled them with stockings, candy, and water. RSU hosted an incredible event and even surprised our students with bikes and a very thoughtful private donor made sure every child enjoyed pizza.

It was a day full of excitement, teamwork, and community support—everything we love at Claremont!

This month, our 4th and 5th graders had the opportunity to experience Cherokee Heritage Day—a day filled with learning, laughter, and hands-on fun!

Guests from the Cherokee Nation visited Claremont to share traditional games, stories, and activities unique to their heritage. Students got to play, learn, and gain a deeper understanding of the rich culture and traditions of the Cherokee people.

We’re so thankful to our visitors for bringing history to life and giving our students such a meaningful experience!

On Halloween, Mrs. Ward’s first graders became scientists as they created homemade lava lamps using water, oil, food coloring, and Alka-Seltzer tablets. They explored how oil and water separate, how the food coloring travels through the oil to reach the water, and how the Alka-Seltzer reacts to form bubbles that carry the color to the top—just like a real lava lamp!

It was the perfect mix of science and Halloween fun!

🦃 CPS will be closed next week, November 24th - 28th, for Thanksgiving Break 🦃

In the spirit of Neal Maxwell’s famous quote - let’s count our blessings, but also make our blessings count.

💖 CPS is certainly counting each and every staff member, student, and family member among our blessings this year. We are thankful for the opportunity to serve you, your family, and our community.

We look forward to seeing students again on Monday, December 1st.

Thursday was World Kindness Day so of course we had to show off our "kind" shirts!

Mrs. Mills’ class worked hard to celebrate World Kindness Day!
Our students spent time reflecting on the people and moments they’re grateful for, then created thoughtful papers to share why they’re thankful and how they can show kindness to others.

Their sweet words were a great reminder that kindness starts with the little things we do each day. We are so proud of the hearts in this classroom!

Last Friday, we featured our Claremont Standout Students who are showing what true grit looks like!

These students have demonstrated perseverance, determination, and a positive attitude—proving that hard work and heart go hand in hand. Each one earned their GRIT card by pushing through challenges and giving their best every single day.

We’re so proud of these role models for showing that when things get tough, Zebras don’t give up—they keep going!
