While technology seems to connect us more than ever, it has also created a generational divide. The art of a handwritten letter will always create a warm, charming, and personal connection between people. This is Abri with her letter from her pen pal, Carmen, a 96 year old woman who resides at the Baptist Village in Owasso. She is also the aunt of one of our engineering teachers. Mrs. Andrews' creative writing students write letters to pen pals in towns across the state, such as Collinsville, Elk City, and Owasso. "My students love this project - they are making connections with an older generation and learning things about what life was like many years ago," said Mrs. Andrews. Connecting with others is more important than you might think. Social connection can lower anxiety and depression, help us regulate our emotions, lead to higher self-esteem and empathy, and improve our immune systems. The students love the fact that they are helping to bring joy to the lives of people who aren't able to get out and socialize with others as much as they used to, especially now that Covid-19 protocols have decreased the visitation at nursing homes. The pen pal program brightens the days of both CHS students and senior residents of Oklahoma nursing homes, and it provides a vital connection between two generations. The students discover the many things they have in common with their pen pals - shared interests and hobbies and foods. Thank you to the Claremore community members who contributed stationery for our students to use for their letters. Thanks to Amy Bethea, Courney Castle, Sandy Roberson, and Amy Wood for their generosity! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Crystal Kimblern, Ed.S. Certified School Psychologist I received a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Union University, Jackson, TN, and an Educational Specialist degree and a Masters in Psychology from Pittsburg State University, Pittsburg, KS. This is my 14th year as a school psychologist and my 2nd year working for Claremore Public Schools. I moved to Oklahoma last year and previously worked in Missouri. I enjoy what I do and love the students and teachers that I work with! I spend most of my time working with Claremore High School and Catalayah Elementary. I got married last year and have 3 great boys. I get to be a step-mom too! We are often spending our time going to sporting events or hanging out with family and friends! One of my favorite quotes: '𝒴𝑜𝓊 𝒶𝓇𝑒 𝒷𝓇𝒶𝓋𝑒𝓇 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓃 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒷𝑒𝓁𝒾𝑒𝓋𝑒, 𝓈𝓉𝓇𝑜𝓃𝑔𝑒𝓇 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓃 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓈𝑒𝑒𝓂 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝓈𝓂𝒶𝓇𝓉𝑒𝓇 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓃 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝓀.'-A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh #CPSZEBRAPRIDE #SPAW2020 #WellnessWednesday

To celebrate National School Psychology Week (last week), throughout the day today, we highlight our school psychologists and the critical work they do to help our students and staff thrive and discover “The Power of Possibility.” Possibility, chance, likelihood, probability - all things that inspire hope, expectation, desire. With their training, tools, and techniques, these staff members empower and equip our Zebra family to not only aspire to succeed but take action steps to accomplish those dreams. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE #SPAW2020 #WellnessWednesday

Veterans Day honors all of those who have served the country in war or peace. Claremore Public Schools is proud of the individuals that chose to serve our country as part of the great American military who now serve our country, our community, and our children on our campuses. THANK YOU!

Due to the pandemic, many celebrations, parades, and events that honor our brave soldiers will not occur. So Friday night at our last home game, we thought it fitting review some of the rich Claremore History that honors our brave service people who sacrificed their lives for our freedoms. If you have attended Claremore High School or ever been to any event at CHS you have probably seen our sports stadium. The original name of the field was Claremont, but in 1945 the name was changed to honor the Lantow family, specifically the brothers. This is their story... https://www.facebook.com/ClaremorePublicSchools/ https://youtu.be/Xwdl9abDo6o #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Enjoying an evening with the best band in the land, the CHS ZEBRA BAND! I am proud of all of you. #bandspectacular

The arrival of November means several things: Pumpkin spice season is in full swing, holiday menus are being planned, guzzling hot chocolate is more than socially acceptable, there's a pie (or two!) in the oven, and—perhaps most importantly—it's ELECTION DAY! Exercise your right - your privilege - your duty - GO VOTE! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
