Happy retirement to Kerri Garroutte, Principal at CHS. Let's give her a virtual 👏ovation for her years of service in the comments. 🍎 What school did you begin teaching at for CPS? WRJH in 1988 🍎 What year did you start teaching for CPS? 1988 🍎 How many years were you a CPS employee? 33 years 🍎 What you are most proud of in your time at CPS? Students and their accomplishments. They are absolutely amazing. 🍎 What are the memories you will take with you? As a teacher, it will be those moments when I knew I made a difference either in the student's understanding of math or in learning a life lesson. As an administrator, it will be talking to students in my office and witnessing the growth, both mental and cognitive, that takes place in a student from freshman year to senior year. Graduation is the best night of every school year. 🍎 What does it mean to be a Zebra to you? It means everyone is a unique, valued member of a family and we take care of one another. 🍎 What is one piece of advice you would give incoming teachers? Be passionate, be present, be positive. Smile at the students. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

The Cherokee Nation is receiving $1.8 billion in COVID-19 recovery funds as part of a historic investment in Indian Country. We at Claremore Public schools want to make sure that our students and families are aware of this. Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. and Deputy Chief Bryan Warner’s proposed spending plan for the funds will provide every Cherokee citizen with a total of $2,000 in direct relief assistance. This assistance is for EVERY Cherokee citizen with a blue tribal membership card. The Cherokee Nation will begin launching applications for its Respond, Recover and Rebuild COVID-19 assistance using FRF funds through the tribe’s online Gadugi Portal. Applications for direct assistance are expected to be online on June 1st or 2nd, but citizens are encouraged to register for the Gadugi Portal now to ease the sign-up process later. It is encouraged that everyone in the household creates a profile on the Gadugi Portal this means each citizen, yes children as well. Follow the link below to the Gadugi Portal. Please contact Jackie Boyd at jboyd@claremore.k12.ok.us if you need any assistance with this process. https://cherokee.org/about-the-nation/gadugi-portal/

When testing is done for the day, 5th graders will play! 5th grade students who were among the first students to finish their state tests were given the opportunity to go to the library with Mrs. Troyer and work with manipulatives like Legos, stacking sticks, spend time coloring or reading, and browsing National Geographic magazines. One of our 5th grade students made some elaborate designs with Legos! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Happy retirement to Debra Cox, teacher at Westside Elementary. Let's give her a virtual 👏ovation for her years of service in the comments. 🍎 I began in Claremore last year.2019-2020 🍎 I was only with Claremore for 2 years. Prior to that, I was with JT for 9 years 🍎 I am most proud of watching my SPED students "get" math on a 5th-grade level. 🍎 My memories I will take with me are the students that I have met as well as the teacher conversations and friendships built. 🍎 It means a lot to me to be a Claremore Zebra as I was born, raised, and graduated from Claremore in 1979. I love the town and all of the friends that I have here. 🍎 Advice for new teachers would be to not take yourself too seriously as things don't always go as planned in the classroom. You have to be able to let it go and move on to the next day without frustration. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Happiness Hatched in First Grade earlier this month. Life cycles are a huge and exciting unit for our first graders! They discuss frogs, butterflies, plants, and chicks. Before they begin the chick unit, the classes predict how many will hatch and how long it will take to incubate them. They use ova-scopes to chart their development in the egg as they grow. They have “chick journals” that they use to write their progress and our observations as well. During this unit, the students learn vocabulary words like albumen, oviparous, incubator, brood, and pullet. What a great way to bring real-life experiences into the classroom, and what a fun way to make this unit more memorable! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
