We were rolling, squishing, shaping, and creating our way through National Play-Doh Day yesterday!

Our Claremont kiddos put their imaginations to work with some colorful Play-Doh fun. From creative masterpieces to plenty of squishing and smashing, there was no shortage of smiles!

Sometimes learning and fun are best served with a little Play-Doh!

This week’s featured find is Choose Your Own Adventure: Terror on the Titanic—a thrilling story where YOU get to decide what happens next! With different paths, daring choices, and plenty of suspense, readers never know where the next page might take them. Will you make it off the Titanic? There’s only one way to find out!

Thank you, Ms. Browning, for kicking off another year of Winning Books and giving our readers an adventure worth checking out!

September 14 was National Coloring Day!

We’re celebrating with a little COLOR from around Claremont! From crayons, markers, and colored pencils to sidewalk chalk, our students have been busy putting their creativity to work.

Coloring gives students a chance to use their imaginations, express themselves, and add a little brightness to the world around them. We love seeing all the colorful creations our Claremont kids come up with!

Rainy days don’t stop the fun at Claremont!

Our kiddos made the most of inside recess last week complete with blocks, cars, games, and lots of imagination. We love seeing them create, play, and enjoy time together — even when the weather keeps us indoors!

Rain or shine, our Zebras know how to have fun!

Our 5th graders took the lead at Rise & Shine last week!

They did a fantastic job helping lead our school through our morning traditions and showing off some great leadership skills.

We also had the opportunity to recognize students for shout-outs and celebrate Zebras who have been showing GRIT throughout our school!

We love ending the week by coming together, celebrating our students, and showing our Claremont pride. Way to go, Zebras!

Week two of Rise & Shine brought lots of smiles, student leaders, and Zebra pride!

Our students helped lead different parts of the morning and we loved seeing them step up with confidence in front of their classmates.

We also celebrated our student shout-outs and recognized some awesome Zebras for the great choices, kindness, and hard work they’ve been showing around Claremont.

Rise & Shine is quickly becoming one of our favorite ways to start Friday together!

A little overdue, but definitely worth celebrating!

We are so proud to share that one of our own was named the EduSkills Multilingual Administrator of the Year! What an incredible honor and a well-deserved recognition of the heart, dedication, and work poured into supporting students and families each day.

We’re also excited to celebrate our friend from Roosa, who was named the EduSkills Paraprofessional of the Year!

Congratulations to both of these outstanding educators on such a special accomplishment!

Friday Night Lights are coming HOME!

These three 5th grade Zebras are suited up and ready to cheer on the big kids tonight! As youth football players themselves, they’re getting a glimpse of where hard work, teamwork, and a love for the game can take them.

Tonight is the first HOME game of the season, with our varsity Zebras kicking off at 7:00!

We love seeing our little Zebras supporting our big Zebras. Go Zebras!

Thankful Thursday! 🦓 This week, we are thankful for our amazing Claremont PTO! Before our students arrived for the new school year, our PTO took the time to make their walk into school a little brighter by decorating our sidewalks with encouraging words, positive messages, and reminders of just how special they are. What a wonderful way to welcome our kiddos back and start the year with kindness! Thank you, Claremont PTO, for always finding ways to make our students and staff feel loved and supported. We appreciate you! 🦓

We’re udderly grateful to Chick-fil-A for thinking of us and helping make our morning so fun. What a MOO-velous way to start the day!

Starting the Day with a Little Strategy!

Before the school day even began, these two were already putting their brains to work with a game of chess!

Chess is more than just a game—it encourages problem-solving, critical thinking, patience, and planning ahead. We love seeing our students choosing to learn, challenge themselves, and have a little fun along the way.

Not a bad way to start the morning at Claremont!

In honor of the Labor Day holiday, CPS will be closed on Monday, September 7th, 2026.

"Before the reward, there must be labor. You plant before you harvest. You sow in tears before you reap joy." Ralph Ransom

Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers. The labor movement created it in the late 19th century, and it became a federal holiday in 1894.

Our 4th graders got creative with Play-Doh by making something that represents what they enjoy! From playing with baby dolls to cooking and other favorite activities, each creation gave students a chance to share a little bit about themselves.

What a fun way to encourage self-expression, spark conversations, and build connections with classmates at the beginning of the school year!
