Sometimes the simplest things make the best memories! 

Some of our kiddos had the best time enjoying bubbles, sunshine, and lots of smiles during a visit to Robson Park. We love seeing them laugh, play, and just enjoy being kids together!

There’s nothing better than a playground full of happy Zebras.

A little overdue, but definitely worth celebrating!

We are so proud to share that one of our own was named the EduSkills Multilingual Administrator of the Year! What an incredible honor and a well-deserved recognition of the heart, dedication, and work poured into supporting students and families each day.

We’re also excited to celebrate our friend from Roosa, who was named the EduSkills Paraprofessional of the Year!

Congratulations to both of these outstanding educators on such a special accomplishment!

Friday Night Lights are coming HOME!

These three 5th grade Zebras are suited up and ready to cheer on the big kids tonight! As youth football players themselves, they’re getting a glimpse of where hard work, teamwork, and a love for the game can take them.

Tonight is the first HOME game of the season, with our varsity Zebras kicking off at 7:00!

We love seeing our little Zebras supporting our big Zebras. Go Zebras!

Thankful Thursday! 🦓 This week, we are thankful for our amazing Claremont PTO! Before our students arrived for the new school year, our PTO took the time to make their walk into school a little brighter by decorating our sidewalks with encouraging words, positive messages, and reminders of just how special they are. What a wonderful way to welcome our kiddos back and start the year with kindness! Thank you, Claremont PTO, for always finding ways to make our students and staff feel loved and supported. We appreciate you! 🦓

We’re udderly grateful to Chick-fil-A for thinking of us and helping make our morning so fun. What a MOO-velous way to start the day!

Starting the Day with a Little Strategy!

Before the school day even began, these two were already putting their brains to work with a game of chess!

Chess is more than just a game—it encourages problem-solving, critical thinking, patience, and planning ahead. We love seeing our students choosing to learn, challenge themselves, and have a little fun along the way.

Not a bad way to start the morning at Claremont!

In honor of the Labor Day holiday, CPS will be closed on Monday, September 7th, 2026.

"Before the reward, there must be labor. You plant before you harvest. You sow in tears before you reap joy." Ralph Ransom

Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers. The labor movement created it in the late 19th century, and it became a federal holiday in 1894.

Our 4th graders got creative with Play-Doh by making something that represents what they enjoy! From playing with baby dolls to cooking and other favorite activities, each creation gave students a chance to share a little bit about themselves.

What a fun way to encourage self-expression, spark conversations, and build connections with classmates at the beginning of the school year!

Our First Rise & Shine of the Year!

We kicked off our very first Rise & Shine of the 2026–2027 school year!

Our students learned and practiced Rise & Shine procedures, reviewed the Pledge of Allegiance and Oklahoma Pledge, practiced what to expect during our moment of silence, and helped us celebrate our Claremont birthdays!

We also got to recognize two of our amazing students with special shout-outs! What a great way to celebrate our kiddos and the positive choices they are already making.

It was a wonderful way to come together as a school family and start another great year of Rise & Shine at Claremont!

Teamwork Makes the Caterpillar Move!

Our 5th graders put their teamwork skills to the test with the Caterpillar Team-Building Exercise! This fun activity challenged students to communicate, cooperate, build trust, and work together toward a common goal.

It was a great way to learn that when everyone works together, amazing things can happen!

We Are the Change! 🦓 A huge thank you to our wonderful counselor, Mrs. Baldwin, and PE teacher, Mrs. Cunningham, for putting so much time, creativity, and love into making our windows so special for our kiddos!
