Farmers to Families Food Boxes will be available this week at
🧀🥛 Tuesday (16th) & Thursday (18th) from 1:30 - 4 PM at the Claremore Expo Center
🧀🥛 Friday (19th) from 10 AM - 12 PM at First Assembly of God
This is OPEN TO EVERYONE!
Last week CPS distributed 1200 boxes of food in cooperation with RCB and Go Fresh. Obviously, this could not have been accomplished without the volunteers. Thank you to the 40 RCB & CPS employees that showed up to meet our families with a smile (even if you could not see it under the masks), who waved, packed the boxes into cars, and served our community.
Thank you to the organizers from RCB, @Sara Moss, and @Tim Mason. We appreciate @Midtown Rental for donating the equipment and manpower to do the “heavy lifting.” As the event unfolded and adjustments were made, @Dale Preston dropped everything he was doing, showed up 2 hours earlier than expected, stayed until CPS maintenance was able to take over, and allowed us to continue to use his equipment the entire evening.
It takes a village and we are blessed to have the heart of servanthood that unites Claremore. Mercy Chefs and Volunteers For Youth are currently managing local distribution sites. This week you can pick up boxes at the Expo Center on Tuesday and Thursday from 1:30-4 PM. THIS IS OPEN TO ALL OF OUR COMMUNITY. If you would like to volunteer, contact Amber Brassfield at amberb@volunteersforyouth.com or 918.200.2938.

Our district teacher of the year is so important to us!
Superintendent Bryan Frazier and other administrators decided to drop in on a staff ZOOM meeting to surprise her. Little did she know they were actually in her front yard - with a “little” sign and a “big” announcement.
Congratulations to...

We have ALL learned, expanded our skills, stretched our imagination, explored new platforms, shared our challenges and our successes. Westside Elementary School-Claremore Public Schools teachers want to remind us we are all in this together as the instructional portion of our continuous learning concludes. However, continuous learning is a mindset, so continue to use the new skills you've learned to keep learning this summer.

🪁 The Tulsa Regional STEM Alliance is providing another STEM in a Bag this Friday. The kite kits will be available during the Meal 2 Go: Drive Thru while supplies last on Friday, May 8th at Westside, Cedar Point, and the CPS Enrollment Center.
🪁 A perfect way to engage our students in STEM and physical activity while experiencing first-hand forces and interactions, which is a huge science standard in many grades. Building a kite also hits a few math standards, including exploring and developing visual representations of
growing geometric patterns.
🪁 Building kites also allows students to explore the engineering principles of building, testing, revising, and testing again!
Not to mention the family memories they will make. 🪁🪁🪁
