Thank you, Ms. Browning, for keeping curiosity in its element and making reading an ocean of fun!

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!










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!








It was the perfect mix of science and Halloween fun!










🦃 CPS will be closed next week, November 24th - 28th, for Thanksgiving Break 🦃
In the spirit of Neal Maxwell’s famous quote - let’s count our blessings, but also make our blessings count.
💖 CPS is certainly counting each and every staff member, student, and family member among our blessings this year. We are thankful for the opportunity to serve you, your family, and our community.
We look forward to seeing students again on Monday, December 1st.

This holiday season, add a little extra sweetness to your celebrations with Chick-fil-A sweet tea and lemonade. Chick-fil-A donates $2 to the Claremore Public School Foundation for every gallon you take home. Help us surpass last year's donation for classroom and teacher grants district-wide. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Thursday was World Kindness Day so of course we had to show off our "kind" shirts!


Our students spent time reflecting on the people and moments they’re grateful for, then created thoughtful papers to share why they’re thankful and how they can show kindness to others.
Their sweet words were a great reminder that kindness starts with the little things we do each day. We are so proud of the hearts in this classroom!





Last Friday, we featured our Claremont Standout Students who are showing what true grit looks like!
These students have demonstrated perseverance, determination, and a positive attitude—proving that hard work and heart go hand in hand. Each one earned their GRIT card by pushing through challenges and giving their best every single day.
We’re so proud of these role models for showing that when things get tough, Zebras don’t give up—they keep going!

Here is NUMBER 9!
This week’s featured find is Dragon Masters—a fiery favorite that proves readers can soar to new heights when they dive into a great story! Full of adventure, teamwork, and a little dragon magic, it’s no wonder this series keeps flying off the shelves.
Thank you, Ms. Browning, for sparking imagination and helping our readers’ love for books take flight!

This week, we want to take a moment to honor the incredible veterans who are part of our Claremont family. 🇺🇸
We’re so proud to recognize Jaqueline Celia (U.S. Navy), paraprofessional; Morgan Mills (U.S. Air Force), 3rd grade teacher; and Jonathan Vest (U.S. Marine Corps), 4th grade teacher.
Your service and dedication to our country — and now to our students — inspire us all. Thank you for your courage, your commitment, and the heart you bring to Claremont every single day.
THANK YOU!

This year, we were lucky to select just two library aides from each class, and they have set the bar high! To celebrate their hard work, they’ll be joining Ms. Browning for lunch each Monday.
Check out the photos to see their creativity in action—the last one shows the finished masterpiece!




From lending a listening ear to helping our students navigate challenges with care and kindness, Mrs. Crum makes a difference every single day. Her compassion, patience, and dedication help make Claremont a place where every child feels seen, supported, and valued.
Thank you, Mrs. Crum, for everything you do — we’re so lucky to have you on our team!

Her firsthand experience helped classmates see one of the region’s most iconic landmarks in a whole new way.
Way to go Isa!
