Brynn spent time helping with book inventory, learning how the library process works, and getting a behind-the-scenes look at everything that helps keep our library running smoothly. She especially loved helping organize and inventory the books!
We are so proud of her hard work, curiosity, and willingness to learn something new.
Way to go, Brynn! Keep up the amazing work!

Our second graders recently wrapped up their fairy tale unit with a magical Fairy Tale Ball!
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!

A few weeks ago, our 3rd graders brought Oklahoma history to life during our annual Wax Museum and we are still so proud of all their hard work! 🇺🇸
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!

Throwback to Beach Day on this LAST Monday of the 25–26 school year!
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!

Bryan Frazier Named OASA District 6 Superintendent of the Year
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.”
