Claremore Public Schools

In honor of homecoming week our #MondayMotivation reminds us that no matter how far, how much time, how things change - we always carry with us our memories of being a Zebra. This memory is from the Class of 1970 who would have been celebrating their 50 year reunion this year. Anyone remember who was on the homecoming court that year? #CPSZEBRAPRIDE #OnceAZebraAlwaysAZebra

IT'S HOMECOMING WEEK Over the past 100+ years, homecoming has grown into a production rivaling any 6A high school and even several colleges in Oklahoma. Claremore High School is rooted in tradition, but those traditions did not all begin on day one. Graduating classes have started, stopped, added, and changed those traditions over the years, and it's expected 100 years from now, they will continue to change. This year 59 CHS students receive recognition, in the homecoming festivities, for their outstanding efforts and contributions to CHS. Fifty-nine students actively participate and lead in an average of 5 co-curricular and extracurricular activities at CHS. These young people are woven in the fabric and culture of what it means to be a Zebra, so over the next few days, CHS will feature each of these representatives and tell you what their favorite part of being a Zebra is to them. ⭐ Ashley Adragna - ROTC ⭐ Molly Bazar - Art Club ⭐ Cauy Brooks - FUZE ⭐ Aaron Brown - Christian Club ⭐ Ella Claborn - Basketball ⭐ Ryan Conner - FCA ⭐ Tyler Douthitt - National Honor Society (NHS) ⭐ Brayden East - ROTC ⭐ Teah Ellard - ZTV ⭐ Mariah Galutza - Math Club ⭐ Christian Gotcher - Golf ⭐ Ben Haley - FFA You can find the homecoming schedule on the CPS website. https://www.claremore.k12.ok.us/o/chs/page/homecoming #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Have you ever dreamed of floating through the clouds? Today Mrs. Rahn's classes will be a part of the Mid-Atmospheric Balloon Launch. Mrs. Rahn's class is partnering with the Smithsonian US Air & Space Museum with the Balloon Launch Across America! We are one of 8 schools across the country who will be launching the balloons. Students are doing a Neutral Buoyancy Lab to prepare for a Mid-Atmospheric Balloon Launch. They used Helium filled balloons and different weights to allow balloons to hover in a neutral space without positive or negative buoyancy. Each balloon has a small satellite and tracker where students will see "Real-Time Data" and track the balloon's journey. Our goal is to have our balloon travel around the world! Today at 12:15 PM you can watch Mrs. Rahn live Youtube https://youtu.be/2mX7TOoYAPs Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ClaremorePublicSchools or You can the livestream from the Smithsonian here: https://airandspace.si.edu/events/live-balloon-launch-across-america #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
