🎭✨ Bringing the Stage to Life! 🎪

WRJH Drama students put their creativity to work by designing 3D stage and set models inspired by The Greatest Showman! Using everyday school supplies, they turned simple materials into impressive theatrical creations.

These talented students had the honor of kicking off the Tulsa Drillers game by leading the crowd in the National Anthem. What an incredible opportunity and a memorable experience for our young singers!

We are so proud of these students for representing Westside Elementary, Claremore Public Schools, and Zebra Nation with excellence. Great job, Westside Choir! 🎶⚾🦓

🎷 WRJH Jazz Band Takes the Stage at the Oologah Jazz Festival! 🎶

This spring, the WRJH Jazz Band took their talents on the road to the Oologah Jazz Festival. Throughout the year, these students have worked hard to learn the language of jazz, develop their musical instincts, and bring their performances to life.

One of the highlights of their performance was watching students step up and volunteer to improvise solos during their set. They did an outstanding job embracing the moment, trusting their skills, and going with the flow—just as great jazz musicians do!

We are incredibly proud of their dedication, growth, and willingness to take musical risks. Great job, WRJH Jazz!

It's real-life GLEE! ✨🎤

Zebra Fine Arts is excited to host Show Choir Camp, where students are spending the week learning songs, choreography, stage presence, and performance skills from some of our outstanding Fine Arts leaders. Not only does this camp help students grow as performers, but it also gives them the opportunity to build confidence, make new friends, and experience the excitement of show choir.

Our campers will take the stage for a special performance on Saturday, June 6 at 9:15 AM, and we would love for friends, family, and community members to come cheer them on.

Come celebrate their accomplishments, support Zebra Fine Arts, and get a glimpse of the next generation of talented performers. We can't wait to see you there! 🦓🎶

Mrs. Breen’s junior high art students understood the assignment! 😂🎨

This spring, students took on the challenge of creating caricatures of our staff members and the results are AMAZING. Our Junior high students worked hard to capture each staff member’s personality in a fun and creative way.

This project pushed students to think outside the box, take artistic risks, and sharpen their creativity skills.

We are so proud of the talent, effort, and humor these students brought to the project.🦓✨

Bryan Frazier Named OASA District 6 Superintendent of the Year

The Why Behind the Work: Bryan Frazier Named District 6 Superintendent of the Year
For Bryan Frazier, leadership has never been about titles, recognition, or standing behind a podium. It has always been about people.

It is about the student who needs someone to believe in them before they believe in themselves. It is about the teacher who stays late to help a struggling learner. It is about building a school system rooted in trust, relationships, and purpose. And it is about ensuring every decision ultimately points back to what is best for students.

That philosophy is one reason Frazier has been named the 2026 Oklahoma Association of School Administrators (OASA) District 6 Superintendent of the Year, an honor recognizing exceptional leadership, service to public education, and contributions to educational advancement across Oklahoma.

Now in his ninth year leading, Frazier has guided the district through some of the most challenging and defining moments in modern education. From navigating a statewide teacher walkout and leading through the COVID-19 pandemic to overseeing curriculum reform, and the district’s largest bond preparation effort, his leadership has consistently focused on maintaining stability while continuing to move the district forward.

But those who know Frazier best say the story is bigger than the challenges he has managed. It is about the culture he has helped create.

Under his leadership, CPS established five district core values: Grit, Community, Excellence, Purpose, and Innovation. Those values are not simply branding statements placed on banners or websites. They shape district decision-making, program development, staff expectations, and student support systems across every school site.

The district’s current annual theme, “Win the Day,” reflects a philosophy that meaningful change is not built through one major moment, but through consistent, intentional effort every single day.

“Public schools are one of the most important institutions in our communities, and this recognition reflects the work of an entire district, not just one individual,” Frazier said. “I am incredibly grateful for our students, staff, families, Board of Education, and community partners who continue to believe in the mission of public education and the work we do together every day.”

Mr. Levesque’s music students have been learning all about rhythm! From rests and half notes to quarter notes and whole notes, students put their knowledge into action in a fun and exciting way. Using rhythm sticks and 5 gallon buckets, they worked together to create beats, keep tempo, and bring music to life through hands on learning! 🥁🎶

Mrs. Ratcliff’s art classes at Catalayah Elementary have been diving into the work of Vincent van Gogh, studying his famous paintings Sunflowers and The Starry Night.

After exploring his unique style and techniques, students put their creativity to work by designing their own Van Gogh–inspired masterpieces using Sharpies, watercolors, and oil pastels.

Their artwork is full of color, movement, and imagination—what a beautiful way to bring art history to life! 🎨✨
