REMINDER!
Tomorrow begins our week full of fun, creativity, and school spirit as we celebrate Red Ribbon Week, October 26–30!
This year's theme is "Be Kind to Your Mind. Live Drug Free!" We're encouraging our students to make healthy choices while having some fun along the way!
We can't wait to see our Zebras show off their creativity and school spirit! Let's make it a great week, Claremont!

Through hands-on activities, our students explored important fire safety lessons! They learned about fire trucks, what firefighters wear, what fire extinguishers are used for, and why we should never touch fire because it is HOT! They even practiced the important safety skill of “Stop, Drop, and Roll!”
To add to the fun, our little learners practiced their cutting skills by creating their very own Dalmatian fire dogs!
We love seeing our little Zebras learn valuable life skills while having so much fun!










Claremont picture retakes will be Friday, October 23.
If your student missed Picture Day or needs a retake, this will be their chance to get that school photo taken.
Don’t forget to bring your best smile!

Our 2nd graders practiced hundreds, tens, and ones by using food as their place value blocks. This hands-on activity gave students a fun way to build numbers, see how each place works, and strengthen their understanding of place value.
We love seeing our Zebras learn through creative activities that make math memorable!
