Officer Hagen does so much more than keep our campus safe — he builds relationships, offers a listening ear, encourages our students, and is a positive presence consistently.

Whether he’s helping solve problems or jumping in to support staff, he does it all with kindness and dedication.

Our elementary is better because of him. We are so grateful for the hard work, heart, and protection he provides our school family each day!

THANK YOU OFFICER HAGEN!

We are incredibly grateful to Claremore First for the beautiful Valentine’s Day meal they provided for our staff.

Our Claremont administration team had the honor of serving the meal to our staff in a candlelit setting with soft music playing — creating a peaceful, special moment in the middle of a busy season. Being served and celebrated in that way made our staff feel truly appreciated. Thank you to Mrs. Fay and Mrs. Brogan for always jumping in to make our staff feel loved.

Claremore First continually shows up for our schools with generosity and kindness. Their willingness to invest in and encourage our educators speaks volumes about their heart for this community. We are so thankful for their partnership and for a staff that pours into students with dedication and love each and every day.

After three snow days, it felt so good to come together last week for a night of skating, laughter, and school spirit. Students, families, and staff showed up ready to roll, and the smiles said it all.

What a fun way to reconnect, burn off some energy, and celebrate being back together after the weather kept us home.

Thanks to everyone who came out and made the night such a success — we loved seeing our school community having so much fun!

This fall, our third graders had the opportunity to visit the Will Rogers Memorial Museum, where they learned all about Will Rogers—a roper, comedian, actor, and writer who truly loved people.

Students explored his life through artifacts, famous quotes, and stories that highlighted how humor, curiosity, and caring for others can make a lasting impact. It was a fun and inspiring trip that helped students connect history to everyday kindness and reminded us all how simple acts can make a big difference.

Neon-themed flyer with a dark blue and purple background, glowing stars, music notes, roller skates, and a slice of pizza. Text reads: “Claremont PTO Presents Skate Night.” Event details say: “Jan 29 – 6:00 PM.” A line below reads: “Kick off the second half of the school year with skating, snacks, and friends!” Location information reads: “Roller World, 950 W 4th St, Claremore, OK.” Pricing details state: “$5 entry includes skates. $2 upcharge for roller blades.”
Mrs. Mills’ class got their kicks on Route 66 by taking a digital road trip along the iconic highway, researching and documenting a famous landmark from each state along the way.

From classic diners in Illinois to glowing neon signs in Missouri, breathtaking desert vistas in Arizona, and the final stop at the Santa Monica Pier, each pair presented a snapshot of the Mother Road’s history and local flavor.

What a fun way to blend research, collaboration, and creativity—no suitcase required!
