They start our year off with a big bang, celebrate our success and support us in many ways!"-Jackie Boyd, Will Rogers Junior High If you would like to support our Claremore Public Schools Foundation please visit: https://claremorepublicschoolsfoundation.org/partners/ #CPSF #FallGrantPatrol #DistrictGrantPatrol #TeacherGrants #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

🎖️ NJROTC Experiences Collegiate ROTC Life at NSU! 🎉 Our NJROTC students had a unique opportunity to get a firsthand look at collegiate ROTC life by participating in the Northeastern State University Color Guard during the university's Military Appreciation Game. This incredible experience allowed our students to witness the discipline, teamwork, and honor that come with being part of a collegiate ROTC program. By taking part in such events, they are developing their skills and exploring future pathways in leadership and service. 👏 Let’s celebrate our NJROTC students for representing Claremore with pride and taking this step toward a bright future! #cpszebrapride

Congratulations to Westside Elementary, Claremont Elementary, Catalayah Elementary, & Roosa Elementary schools on being awarded a District Grant!🥳🔢 "We could not be more excited for our district grant that was fully funded to provide Promethean Boards for the elementary music teachers in the district. Our district has been extremely blessed with an amazing music curriculum provided by Frank Robson, a generous community member and supporter of the arts. This music curriculum is interactive for students, and now with these interactive Promethean Boards our students can experience all activities provided through the curriculum. As a mother of a student who is involved in and passionate about the arts, I love that our Claremore Public School Foundation supports fostering this love in even the youngest of our students."-Chrissy Willard, Principal, Roosa Elementary School If you would like to support our Claremore Public Schools Foundation please visit: https://claremorepublicschoolsfoundation.org/partners/ #CPSF #FallGrantPatrol #DistrictGrantPatrol #DistrictGrant #FineArts #TeacherGrants #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

What makes your💗 happy? Earlier this year, 20 Claremore FFA members had the unique opportunity to meet and listen to Amberley Snyder. Her inspiring story of grit, determination, and perseverance following a life-changing vehicle accident is truly remarkable. Amberley’s journey has been adapted into a Netflix movie titled "Walk. Ride. Rodeo." She left the members with an important message: "You will encounter things in life that make you happy, and you will encounter things in life that make your heart happy. These are not always the same. Find those things that make your heart happy." We think it's worth sharing with our community! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Roosa Elementary second-grade students have been diving into biographies! 📚✨ They’ve been reading about inspiring figures, creating drawings of the people they studied, and writing thoughtful book reports. 🎨✏️ #CPSZebraPride

At Catalayah Elementary, Kylie Cleary has won the Storm Water Art Competition, and her artwork is now featured on the side of a trash truck for all to admire! 🚛✨ This week she was recognized at the Claremore City Council Meeting and saw her artwork on the truck for the first time!👏🏼 Congratulations, Kylie! 🎉 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Congrats to Laura Sargent on being awarded 2 Fall Grants!🥳🦓 "Thanks to the generosity of CPSF and the grant they have provided, students will soon have the opportunity to enhance their learning experiences with LEGO Spike Kits. These kits will foster collaboration and offer hands-on experiences in many computer science skills including programming, robotics, engineering and coding. By engaging with these tools, students will learn teamwork, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Students will also gain a deeper understanding of several STEM concepts. This initiative will help to foster a life-long love for learning and inspire the next generation of innovators." "We are grateful to have received the technology enhancement grant, provided by CPSF. This grant will enable us to enhance the learning experience within the computer special classroom. With this support we can ensure our students continued growth and innovation. We look forward to using our updated technology to drive positive impact and efficiency in the classroom."-Laura Sargent, Catalayah Elementary School If you would like to support our Claremore Public Schools Foundation please visit: https://claremorepublicschoolsfoundation.org/partners/ #CPSF #FallGrantPatrol #DistrictGrantPatrol #TeacherGrants #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
