Claremont Elementary

Our little Zebras ran hard during the first Running Club of the year—showing enthusiasm, teamwork, and plenty of determination! It’s always such a joy to see students encouraging one another and taking pride in staying active.

At Claremont, we love promoting fitness and wellness in fun, meaningful ways. What a great start to the year for our runners! Go Zebras!

Every Thursday, we’re featuring one of Ms. Browning’s Winning Books! With over 100 hidden throughout the library, the only way to know you’ve found one is to check it out.

Here is NUMBER 6!

This week’s featured find is Blood on the River—a story that proves history can really flow with adventure! Readers will be swept up in its powerful current of courage, discovery, and perseverance.

Thank you, Ms. Browning, for keeping students hooked and making reading such a meaningful journey each week!

Today, the Claremore Fire Department visited Claremont to review fire safety with our students!

Students rotated through four engaging stations where they learned about the gear firefighters wear, experienced the excitement of a bounce house, and even had the chance to spray water from a real fire hose.

We are so grateful to the Claremore Fire Department for taking the time to teach our students about fire safety in such a fun and memorable way.
Thank you for keeping our community safe and inspiring our future heroes!

Science was bubbling over with excitement today as Ms. Bailey’s students created their own “elephant toothpaste!” This hands-on experiment let students explore chemical reactions in a fun, foamy way—watching ordinary ingredients combine to make something extraordinary.

It’s always amazing to see curiosity and learning come to life right in the classroom. Great job, scientists!

We may be a little late posting, but we didn’t want to miss the chance to celebrate our amazing students from September. Congratulations to our Students of the Month for showing leadership, kindness, and dedication both in and out of the classroom.

We also recognized our September birthdays and are so proud of each of our students who make Claremont such a special place to learn and grow.

Need something to do? Show your #CPSZEBRAPRIDE and support our 🏈 Varsity Football @ Collinsville on the 16th.

Our 5th graders hit the court for a fun review game of Trasketball! They teamed up to answer questions about common and proper nouns, earning shots at the basket for each correct answer. It was a close game, but in the end… the Pumas took the win!

This time, “I Am Superman” was the winning book!

Just look at how happy our student is with their prize—we love Winning Books!

Think you’ve got good aim?

You’ve got 15 minutes to make a splash and send our fearless leader for a swim!

Parents - don't forget it's also CYFA Night! Come cheer on all our mini Zebras as they take the field!

Today was a sweet start to our subtraction unit!

Our students kicked things off with one of their favorite activities — Eat My Math. With a handful of M&Ms, they practiced building subtraction fluency while enjoying a tasty snack.

This fun and memorable activity helps make math exciting, and we’ll be bringing it back several times throughout the year!

Last Thursday, we took our pep assembly out to the football field—and WOW, what an incredible time we had!

Our students and staff brought the energy with cheers, chants, and nonstop school spirit. It was the perfect way to kick off Homecoming and show off that Zebra pride under the lights.

Thank you to everyone who joined us on the field to celebrate, cheer, and make memories together.

GO ZEBRAS!
