Westside library had some special visitors this past week. Three ladies from the Holiday Hills Homemakers presented them with a check for $304.00. The money will help 30 students purchase books at the upcoming Scholastic Book Fair. These ladies have been blessing our students for several years. Their generosity and commitment to encouraging young readers is inspirational. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

At Claremore Public Schools, we strive to create a work atmosphere for our teachers and staff that is collaborative, supportive, and stimulating. A productive learning environment for students depends on the ability of our teachers to share ideas and best practices with other educators and to have access to the most up-to-date training in the field of education. By recruiting the very best education professionals, we can be sure of the continued success of our students. While your kids won't be in our classrooms on September 30, all of our teachers and staff will be participating in professional development workshops presented by Solution Tree. This PLC training is made possible through the GEAR UP Grant and District PD. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE #STRONGSCHOOLSSTRONGCOMMUNITYZEBRASTRONG
