Claremont families—our Lost & Found Fashion Show is officially LIVE!
Our students are hitting the “runway” this week to show off jackets, hoodies, water bottles, and all kinds of treasures still waiting to be claimed. Please remind your kiddo to stop by and check the tables—we’d love to reunite these items with their rightful owners before the holiday break.

We also had a special visit from the Claremore High School Cheer Team today! They came to invite our kiddos to their event THIS Saturday from 11–3: Christmas Cheer with the Zebras!
Pre-K through 5th graders are welcome to come hang out with the cheerleaders for a fun-filled day of crafts, activities, lunch, and lots of spirit. Cost is $25 per student, and $20 for each additional child in the same household.

Sign up at https://forms.gle/LUDo9NtrvJ8vv8Md6

It’s always a good day when we get to mix a little fashion, a little fun, and a whole lot of Zebra pride!

🎅+🤝+🦓 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!
