Here is NUMBER 51!
This week’s featured find is I Am Invited to a Party! by Mo Willems—a delightful story featuring Elephant and Piggie as they try to figure out what to wear to a party. With silly moments and lots of laughter, this book shows that spending time with friends is what really makes any party special.
Thank you, Ms. Browning, for helping our readers discover stories that celebrate friendship, fun, and the joy of reading!

Over the course of two weeks, students explored the exciting world of fairy tales by learning about story elements like characters, settings, problems, solutions, and magical events. They used those skills to recognize and compare different fairy tales while diving into some beloved stories along the way.
To celebrate all they learned, students dressed up and enjoyed a Fairy Tale Ball filled with fun, imagination, and plenty of smiles. It was such a special way to bring their learning to life and make unforgettable memories together!










Students became famous Oklahomans by digging deep into credible resources for research, creating scripts, and dressing up to share what made these individuals so special. This hands-on project gave students the opportunity to connect with Oklahoma’s history while building important research and public speaking skills — and of course, having a blast while doing it!
From start to finish, our students did an incredible job showcasing their creativity, confidence, and knowledge.
Way to go, Zebras!








Our Lost & Found is officially entering “mountain range” status.
Jackets, water bottles, lunch boxes, hoodies, and mystery items are piling up FAST!
If your child has been missing something, now is the time to come take a peek before these lost treasures find a new home. We highly encourage students and families to check the Lost & Found ASAP!
You might be surprised by what’s waiting to be reunited with its owner.

We also want to give a huge thank you to RCB Bank, Claremont PTO, She Brews, R&B Insurance Solutions, and our amazing Claremont families for the kindness and generosity you showed our staff recently. Your support and encouragement mean so much, and we are incredibly grateful for a community that loves and supports our school so well.
Claremont is a special place because of the people in it!






Our students (and teachers) showed up in their best beach attire and brought all the sunshine, smiles, and end-of-year excitement with them. From bright colors to laid-back vibes, it was the perfect way to celebrate all the hard work they’ve put in this year.
We’re soaking up these final moments together and enjoying every minute. Summer is almost here, Claremont!







The Why Behind the Work: Bryan Frazier Named District 6 Superintendent of the Year
For Bryan Frazier, leadership has never been about titles, recognition, or standing behind a podium. It has always been about people.
It is about the student who needs someone to believe in them before they believe in themselves. It is about the teacher who stays late to help a struggling learner. It is about building a school system rooted in trust, relationships, and purpose. And it is about ensuring every decision ultimately points back to what is best for students.
That philosophy is one reason Frazier has been named the 2026 Oklahoma Association of School Administrators (OASA) District 6 Superintendent of the Year, an honor recognizing exceptional leadership, service to public education, and contributions to educational advancement across Oklahoma.
Now in his ninth year leading, Frazier has guided the district through some of the most challenging and defining moments in modern education. From navigating a statewide teacher walkout and leading through the COVID-19 pandemic to overseeing curriculum reform, and the district’s largest bond preparation effort, his leadership has consistently focused on maintaining stability while continuing to move the district forward.
But those who know Frazier best say the story is bigger than the challenges he has managed. It is about the culture he has helped create.
Under his leadership, CPS established five district core values: Grit, Community, Excellence, Purpose, and Innovation. Those values are not simply branding statements placed on banners or websites. They shape district decision-making, program development, staff expectations, and student support systems across every school site.
The district’s current annual theme, “Win the Day,” reflects a philosophy that meaningful change is not built through one major moment, but through consistent, intentional effort every single day.
“Public schools are one of the most important institutions in our communities, and this recognition reflects the work of an entire district, not just one individual,” Frazier said. “I am incredibly grateful for our students, staff, families, Board of Education, and community partners who continue to believe in the mission of public education and the work we do together every day.”

Every year, our third graders wrap up the school year with an exciting LEMONADE WAR inspired by the book “The Lemonade War” by Jacqueline Davies! Students work together to sell lemonade, hoping their “side” comes out on top in this boys-versus-girls, winner-takes-all competition.
The winning team gets to decide how the money raised will be used, making this a fun lesson in teamwork, entrepreneurship and giving back. We can’t wait to see who comes out victorious this year!
If the weather doesn’t cooperate, the Lemonade War will be moved indoors.

Thursday, we had the privilege of welcoming back some very special visitors — our graduating seniors!
Each year, seniors from the district return to their elementary schools for the annual Grad Walk, and it is always such a meaningful experience for our students and staff. Our graduates walked the halls where their journey first began, shared advice and encouragement with our students, and took time to listen to words of wisdom from our teachers and Ms. Fay.
Seeing how much these students have grown reminds us all that big dreams truly do start in small classrooms. We are so proud of each and every graduate and cannot wait to see all the amazing things they accomplish in the future.
Once a Claremont zebra, always a Claremont zebra!

She came early that morning to help students out of their cars, hand out high fives, and bring a little extra sunshine to an otherwise cloudy day - FUN FACT, she attended Claremont too!
It’s the small moments like these that make such a big impact on our students—and we are so grateful for leaders who choose to pour into our school community.
