Our 4th graders had a special opportunity to take part in Cherokee Heritage Day!

Guests from the Cherokee Nation visited Claremont and shared traditional games, stories, and activities that helped bring Cherokee culture and history to life.

Our students loved learning through hands-on experiences, asking questions, and gaining a deeper appreciation for the traditions of the Cherokee people.

We are so thankful to our guests for spending the day with us and creating such a meaningful experience for our 4th graders! Stay tuned to see all the fun our 5th graders had!

Fire Prevention Week was October 4–10 and some of our youngest Zebras had so much fun learning all about fire prevention!

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!
