We had so much fun celebrating Mrs. McComb yesterday for National Counselors Day. Here is what Mrs. McComb said it means to her to be a counselor at CPS. "Claremore has always been my family’s home. My colleagues and students are my work family, and it’s an honor to be a part of Claremore Public Schools. I feel inspired by my coworkers every day and am so thankful for the students and the families I work with." #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING..... This is so cool!!! Mrs. Hall is teaching her steam classes to use fruit as a keyboard. I'm serious!! FRUIT AS A KEYBOARD. MaKey MaKey lets you transform everyday objects (we used fruit) into computer keys. Using a programmable circuit board and alligator clips the students were conducting electricity through the apples and bananas. Once connected the fruit became the computer arrows and could be used in any program on their computer. Stay tuned- I'm hoping to get a video soon!!! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
