The Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma brought their Will Rogers musical to Claremont Elementary last week! 🎭 Students were invited to join in on the fun and became part of the show, making for an engaging and interactive theatre experience. It was a wonderful performance and a great reminder of the life and legacy of our hometown legend, Will Rogers.

Mr. Levesque’s music classes have been having a blast learning about rhythm! Students are practicing how to keep a steady beat by singing this fun fall song and passing the pumpkin right on time. It’s a great way to make learning rhythm fun and engaging in elementary music!

We had the privilege of honoring our 2024-25 Jazz Band with their State Championship Rings! 💍🎶

This incredible group of musicians earned this recognition through countless hours of practice, teamwork, and passion for their craft. Their journey to the top wasn’t easy—it took commitment, grit, and an unwavering drive for excellence.

Every note played and every rehearsal attended reflected their dedication to representing Claremore with pride. They are the embodiment of what it means to have Zebra Pride—hardworking, resilient, and united.

Congratulations, Jazz Band! You’ve made your mark, and we couldn’t be prouder! 🦓🎺💪
