Thanks to a bond passed by citizens like each of you a few years back, our schools had some phenomenal STEM labs added on. Along with the equipment and space, we've got some energetic, passionate educators who've stepped into roles teaching and guiding.
After several years of afterschool STEM and STEAM clubs, Claremont and Roosa were awarded a grant through our amazing CPS foundation which gave our 5th graders the opportunity to merge their STEM experience with an after school robotics program!
They meet weekly at their own schools, but recently both schools had the great fortune of going to visit the CHS STEM building where Roosa and Claremont worked side by side with each other AND some our award winning CHS robotics teams!
Just one more reason Claremore Schools are great: the way we come together is absolutely unmatched!

Reasons today is an awesome day:
๐ It's the Friday before Spring Break
๐ We started out dancing ๐๐บ
๐Some pretty awesome and pricelessly positive preK'ers told us how to make it happen!
Small, but mighty, Mrs. Youngs' afternoon PreK class took center stage bright and early this morning to lead their first ever Rise & Shine! They showed great effort and cheered each other to a roaring success! Great job, Pre-K - way to show that Roosa spirit!!

Roosa's Native American Club has learned so much this year from traditions, to stylings, to various customs. Along with all that, they've been learning how much better working together is for not only their community but for all of nature.
They've been volunteering their time to clean up the school hallways and pick up brush piles from the school garden. We are so proud of their hard work! ๐งน๐

Ms. Courtney joined the Roosa family several years ago and we can't sing her praises loudly enough! Whether hosting lunches with students or stopping to ask a kiddo how they are in passing, she makes sure each one she passes knows she cares.
Ms. Courtney flawlessly teaches students how to navigate tricky situations with friends and how and ways to handle big feelings. She offers invaluable reaources to staff and families each day - we'd be lost without her for sure!
Today and every day, Ms. Courtney, we thank you and all school based social workers. We appreciate you so very much!

"I Am NOT Going to Get Up Today!" might be the book he read to 4th grade, but he not only got up, but he showed up in a big way! Mr. Frazier loves getting to come to the schools and interact with students, so being a celebrity reader was going to be fun no matter what! But something tells me that the beaming young man in the Zebras lacrosse shirt, the one who calls him Papa, made this visit that much sweeter!
Thanks for getting up today and for sharing such a fun story with 4th grade! We're so glad you came!

How much fish could a tub o' fish fish if a tub o' fish could fish fish??
Students have been stopping by the library to make their best guesses and casting their votes for the mystery reader of the day. They're even taking time to pick their favorite Dr. Seuss book...do you speak for the trees, love kooky hats, or have like to try new and interesting foods? What's your favorite?
#RAAW2024

Oh me, oh my
Oh me, oh my!
Look at all the local celebrities that have stopped by!

Big, huge thanks to Sheriff Walton, Officer Bruner, and everyone's favorite snowcone man, Mr. Phil!! We appreciate you taking time out of your days to come and read with the classes!!

Guess what's back, back again....
It's the book fair!!!
Starting next week, March 11th and running through March 15th, the Scholastic Book Fair is back at Roosa - tell a friend!
Students will be able to shop daily as their class schedules allow, and Tuesday, March 12th we'll be open late during parent/teacher conferences.
The Ewallet is an option again this time, giving parents some comfort knowing their kiddos have an easy, safe way to access book fair money without chance of losing it. Check this link for info on setting this up for your student

Jacks of all trades, flexible, and always willing to fix all that needs to be fixed from here to there and EVERYWHERE across the entire district, our maintenance crew is definitely deserving of superhero status!
(I'm pretty sure they're capable of leaping over tall buildings too, but that's between you and me!)
Thank you for the hard work put in each day! Without your dedication and skills in heating, plumbing, hvac, and concrete -to name just a few- our days would be far less productive and waaaay less comfortable!

Mrs. Hostler and Rori here are showing off both their favorite jammies and their love of descriptive words!
Rori said these are her favorites because they feature a smart and kind young woman named Malala, who some might know as the youngest Nobel Prize winner ever.
Rori recently read a book about the great things Malala has done. "I liked learning about how she stands up for girls' rights," she told us.
Well, we like how you tied together books and PJs so expertly!

Don't forget, today kicks off Read Across America Week, and boy, do we have some fun planned!
The YAWN of the one little bug is still spreading.
According to latest reports, it is heading
Across the wide fields, through the sleepy night air,
Across the whole country, toward every-which-where.

Don't forget those PJs today - or wear RED! โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ

We don't know about you, but we're feeling 22!!
Twenty-two years for Roosa!!!
What's that, you ask? We'll tell you. . . that's 22 years as a Great Expectations model school - the longest running model school NATIONWIDE!!!
In practice, Great Expectations is so much more than expecting greatness. GE promotes harmony and improved student self-esteem amongst so many other things, thereby encouraging a safe and exciting school atmosphere. Demonstrating how we can implement life principles like courtesy, effort, flexibility, and perseverance in everything we do builds such a strong learning community and really helps us to reach for the stars!
