🏈FOOTBALL PLAYER OF THE WEEK🏈
8th Grade:
Dexter Williams
Dexter embodies what it means to be a team-first player. Whether he’s lining up at inside linebacker, fullback, or running back, it doesn’t matter what’s asked of him—his answer is always, “yes, sir.” His selfless attitude, toughness, and high character make him an invaluable part of our team. Players like Dexter are the foundation of winning football.
7th: {TIE}
Camden Tyler
Camden made his presence felt on both sides of the ball. Offensively, he came up with a clutch catch and delivered key blocks that helped our offense move the chains. Defensively, he was a physical force at cornerback, making multiple tackles and showing a willingness to do whatever it takes for the team.
Beckett Edwards
Beckett dominated from his outside linebacker position. He consistently shut down the opponent’s outside run game with physical play and great discipline. To cap off an outstanding performance, he came away with a momentum-changing interception, making a huge impact on the defensive side of the ball.

You have a question about America's Best High School Homecoming... we have a webpage for that! Check it out https://www.claremore.k12.ok.us/o/chs/page/homecoming
September 25th- yes, that's the date for this year's homecoming festivities. This week we added dress-up days, homecoming reps, and more!
Per Claremore Public Schools district policy, written parent/guardian consent is required before any medication—including over-the-counter medications such as Ibuprofen—can be administered at school.
During the first few weeks of school, we have temporarily contacted parents/guardians by phone to obtain verbal consent when medication was needed.
Beginning September 14, 2026, medications will not be administered without the required written consent on file.
Parents/guardians should complete the Student Health History and Consent Form for the 2026–2027 school year and have their student return the completed form to the WRJH nurse's office.
This requirement helps us follow district policy and ensure the safety and well-being of all our students.
The form can be found on the Claremore Public Schools website under Student Health Information & Forms: https://www.claremore.k12.ok.us/page/health

🎨 A Face Created by Many! 🎨
Mrs. Smith’s art class had a fun collaborative drawing activity! Students started by drawing one eye on their paper. Then, they traded papers with another student, who added the second eye. The papers were traded again for someone to draw the nose, then again for the mouth, and the process continued!
By the end, each student had a complete face—but it was created by lots of different artists!
We love seeing our students get creative, work together, and have a little fun along the way!

Learning Science Through Stations!
Mrs. Simmonds' students were busy learning by doing today! They worked through a variety of stations to practice using different measurement tools in science.
From measuring length and mass to exploring volume and temperature, students got hands-on experience learning how to collect accurate data and make observations.

📚 Why Study History?
History isn’t just about memorizing dates and names—it helps us understand the world around us! Students in Coach Dexter's class got up, active, and engaged as they worked through a series of interactive stations exploring why studying history is important.
Through each station, students discovered how history helps us understand the past, make connections to the present, learn from experiences, and think critically about the world we live in. 🌎
We love seeing learning come to life through movement, collaboration, and meaningful discussion!

🥁 A little rhythm, a lot of teamwork!
Mrs. Lively’s 7th graders are practicing their classroom callback for the year. When they hear the drum, they know exactly what to do! This simple routine puts several of our Great Expectations Life Principles into action, including Self-Discipline, Cooperation, Respect, and Responsibility.
Great Expectations isn’t just something we talk about. It’s something our students practice in the little moments every day!

🏈🔥FOOTBALL PLAYERS OF THE WEEK! 🔥🏈
7TH GRADE: Let’s give a HUGE shoutout to Mateo Grimett for being named our 7th Grade Player of the Game!
Mateo was an absolute FORCE all over the field, putting together an incredible performance and finding the end zone THREE times!
But it wasn’t just Mateo — the entire 7th Grade team showed up and DOMINATED, pitching a SHUTOUT against the Adair Warriors!
And you know what that means…
A BIG OL’ DONUT ON THE SCOREBOARD = DONUTS FOR THE TEAM!
Way to battle, 7th Grade! We are so proud of the effort, toughness, and teamwork you guys showed! Keep working, keep believing, and keep making memories!
8TH GRADE:
Let’s give a HUGE shoutout to Cash Wolf for being named our 8th Grade Player of the Game!
Cash stepped up in a BIG way this week, taking the reins at QB and leading the team with TWO total touchdowns!
But Cash wasn’t done there! On defense, he was a force at inside linebacker, flying around the field and making multiple key tackles when his team needed him most!
Way to go, Cash! Your leadership, toughness, and willingness to do whatever the team needs did not go unnoticed! We’re proud of you!

How do you get to know your classmates at the beginning of school? Your class does a "happy human treasure hunt"!
Mrs. Pennell's classes were becoming fast friends when they did a human treasure hunt. During the first few days of school, they took some time to meet new people, learning fun things about classmates, and discovering what we all have in common.

In honor of the Labor Day holiday, CPS will be closed on Monday, September 7th, 2026.
"Before the reward, there must be labor. You plant before you harvest. You sow in tears before you reap joy." Ralph Ransom
Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers. The labor movement created it in the late 19th century, and it became a federal holiday in 1894.
