WRJH and CHS Band absolutely blew us away with their Holiday Concert last week! 🎄✨

The music didn’t just fill the halls, it filled our hearts with pure holiday magic. Students performed timeless favorites like The Nutcracker, Last Christmas, Holly Jolly Christmas, Jingle Bell Rock, and so many more, ttuly bringing the holiday season to life.

This performance was the result of a semester full of dedication, rehearsals, teamwork, and passion. Our band students and directors have worked tirelessly, and it truly showed on stage. Their commitment to excellence created a performance that our community will remember for a long time.

We are incredibly proud of the talent, growth, and heart shown by every musician involved. And with so much momentum and creativity, we can’t wait to see what next semester brings for our bands.

Big things are ahead, and the best is yet to come! 🎶🦓

5th grade art classes across the district participated in a special project in partnership with the Will Rogers Memorial Museum, creating beautiful ornaments for the museum’s Christmas trees! 🎅🖌️

Today, we’re excited to spotlight Catalayah’s 5th grade artists, whose creativity truly shines. The museum staff provided salt dough ornaments for each building, and students had the opportunity to decorate their own, resulting in a festive display full of color, imagination, and holiday cheer! ❤️💚

We love seeing our students share their talents through meaningful partnerships with the Claremore community and our district.
