Mrs. Lane's classes are currently working on a mock trial. They are using a case file that includes exhibits and a nonfiction story to pull evidence to prove their case. By working on gathering information and organizing it for their mock trial, they are working on standards that focus on argumentative writing.

Staff spotlight on Ms. Gardner:
My name is Mallory Gardner and I was born to military parents in Misawa, Japan. I grew up in Houston, Texas after my parents starting working with NASA, and graduated from Clear Lake High School. I was the third generation in my family to attend Oklahoma State, graduating in 2015 with my bachelor's degree. After graduation, I moved to Vacaville, California for a short time before returning to Oklahoma to begin my teaching career in Fall 2017. I currently teach 6th grade English to some of the best students I have ever had the pleasure of teaching! Education has always been a passion for me, so I am beyond excited to have found the perfect home in the best district ever! GO ZEBRAS!

2019 WRJH Veteran's Day Assembly
We will never be able to repay the debt we owe the brave men and women who have served in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard. But today on Veterans Day, we set aside some time to commemorate those that have served and those that continue to serve so we can sit in this school and learn about the freedoms their sacrifices have bestowed on us. Let us learn from their courage, sacrifice, faithfulness, reliability, self-discipline, and motivation.
THANK YOU to Claremore Public Schools Staff, who have served and continue to serve our great nation.
Our first three are: Commander Murry Estabrook, Steve Janke, and Chief Skip Jasper. Show them a little #CPSZEBRAPRIDE and appreciation in the comments below.
“Veterans know better than anyone else the price of freedom, for they’ve suffered the scars of war. We can offer them no better tribute than to protect what they have won for us.” - President Ronald Reagan, 1983
We honor our final three staff members who have served: Bruce Riggs, Ben Russell, and Jake Steven. Let's show them some #CPSZEBRAPRIDE and admiration of their service in the comments below.
As people march in parades, wave their flags, salute their soldiers, and speak of the sacrifices the men and women of our armed forces today, we are taking the time to honor the staff of Claremore Public Schools that have served our great nation. We also acknowledge their calling and continued service the future of this nation as teachers and influencers here where we are shaping the next generation. Here's to the four service women at CPS: Darla Meisinger, Karen Olari, Lisa Puglsey and Brandy Albert.
Give them a #CPSZEBRAPRIDE shout-out below for their service.

Mrs. Boyd's 7th grade science class is studying adaptations in organisms. One type of adaptation is camouflage. Students were asked to predict which color of prey would be easiest to find and hardest to find. They were then given 5 minutes to collect as many prey as possible. After hunting they sorted each prey by color, completed questions, looked at the data in a spreadsheet and completed a graph comparing their data and class data to determine if their predictions were supported.

We had a special guest yesterday, Lt. Col. Eric Jauquet from the Oklahoma Air National Guard. Lt. Col. Jauquet spoke to Mrs. Rahn's STEM Exploration class about flying the F-16 and serving our community and country. He spoke to students about his career as a pilot and the schooling/training required to accomplish his goal. He also told the students about the different missions he served. Students even got to try parts of his G-suit that protect the pilot from physical stress of acceleration by compressing the body to keep blood from pooling in the legs. The students had great questions for him like "What type of engineer develops the helmet you wear on the plane?" "What kind of training is required to become a pilot?
We want to thank Lt. Col. Jauquet for sharing his career and his stories.
