🦃 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!

We recognized our October Students of the Month, Birthdays, and honored Ms. Massey as Teacher of the Month and Mrs. Dudley as Support Staff of the Month.
Mrs. Carvalho shared about our Goal Getters, Mrs. Harrison’s class earned Ms. Browning’s award, and the girls’ wing won the Clean Sweep! A huge thank-you to the baseball boys for helping make the morning extra special.
What a busy, fun morning of celebrations!
Here is NUMBER 8!
This week’s featured find is Goodnight, Dance—a story that twirls, leaps, and spins its way into readers’ hearts. It’s a graceful reminder that every good book deserves a standing ovation at the end!
Thank you, Ms. Browning, for keeping reading en pointe and turning every page into a joyful performance!
They explored, created, and collaborated. It’s always exciting to see their enthusiasm as they dive into problem-solving and discovery in such a fun, interactive space.
Our students were invited to join in on the excitement—becoming part of the show and creating an engaging, interactive theatre experience. It was a fantastic performance and a meaningful celebration of our hometown hero, Will Rogers, and his lasting legacy.
From costumes to red outfits, they showed that making healthy, drug-free choices isn’t just for students — it’s a message we all believe in.
We’re so thankful for a team that leads by example and brings school spirit to everything they do.
What a fantastic way to finish the week — Zebra pride through and through!
Last Friday’s theme — “Scare Away Drugs!” — was the perfect way to wrap up Red Ribbon Week!
Our students filled the halls with creativity and color, showing off fun costumes and bright red outfits while celebrating healthy, drug-free choices.
From superheroes to storybook characters, our Zebras proved that being drug-free is always in style!
Our Halloween day was so full of fun, it needed three posts to capture it all!
From creative costumes to bright red outfits, our students and staff brought their A-game and filled the halls with smiles, laughter, and so much Zebra pride.
It was the perfect way to wrap up Red Ribbon Week and celebrate a safe, happy Halloween at Claremont!
