She builds strong relationships, leads with heart, and always puts kids first. We are so lucky to have her as part of our team.

Our 5th graders brought history to life as they learned about Taxation Without Representation!

Through engaging activities and discussions, students explored what it meant for colonists to be taxed without having a voice—and why it became such an important issue in American history. It was exciting to see them thinking critically, asking great questions, and making connections to the world around them.

Learning history is always more meaningful when students can experience it in action!

April Fools’ fun at Claremont!

Ms. Jenni gave Mrs. Mills’ class a call to let them know there was a “flood drill” being performed—and let’s just say it definitely got their attention! The reactions were priceless as students tried to figure out what was going on before realizing they had been part of a little April Fools’ surprise.

It was all in good fun and brought lots of laughs to our day. We love finding small ways to keep school joyful, memorable, and full of smiles!

Earlier this week our elementary music students had an amazing opportunity thanks to a foundation grant!

They attended a Tulsa Opera production at the RPAC, where they experienced Monkey and Francine in the City of Tigers by Sankaram and Johnston.

Students had a blast—laughing, engaging, and fully enjoying the performance from start to finish! What a fun and memorable way to bring music to life outside the classroom. We are so grateful for opportunities like this that allow our students to explore the arts in new and exciting ways.
