We are fortunate to have US Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Zachary Kappler visit Claremore's NJROTC Corps of Cadets. The Corps of Cadets is mustering (in uniform) in the Maker Space to hear Chief Kappler speak about his career in the US Coast Guard (USCG) and USCG opportunities. Chief Kappler drove from OKC, as there is only one USCG recruiting office in Oklahoma. Our Corps of Cadets Commanding Officer, Cayden Hudson, interviewed Chief Kappler for the "Cadet Minute."

Volleyball started a new tradition - leaving a legacy on and off the court. Beginning this year, each senior will choose a brick in the locker room to leave their handprint, name, and number representing their effort in building this program. This year's seniors sacrificed their blood, sweat, tears, and time for something bigger than themselves. We look forward to seeing ALL our seniors represented on this wall. May these bricks be a reminder for those who come after you of the foundation of sacrifice it takes to build a ZEBRA NATION. #CPSZEBARPRIDE

Taylor Hoffer at Claremore High School was awarded a 2021 Fall Grant for "Picasso Needs a Table (Phase 2)"! "This fall CPSF completed a grant started in the spring of 2021 to replace the 30+ year old desks in classroom 210. Our art students now have access to state-of-the-art drafting tables. Art students spend 80% of the semester drawing or painting; these new smooth surfaces lift to alleviate neck and back strain as students work on their art for 70 minutes at a time. They will use these tables to create highly competitive artwork that will be submitted to the Philbrook Museum, the Scholastic art and writing competition, Young Talent, the Oklahoma state fair and more! "-Taylor Hoffer, CHS Art Teacher To support CPSF efforts to provide more grants, register to attend our Jan. 29th, Brainiac Brawl https://claremorepublicschoolsfoundation.org/events/ #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Happy New Year from Claremore Public Schools. As we enter into a new year, we all seem to take time to reflect on our lives, habits, choices from the past and contemplate how they impact our future. This reflection can lead to new inspiration, goals, resolutions, or a new focus. Instead of adding to it, some consideration may lead to removing obstacles or habits from our lives. Either way, we are all looking for a positive change. Whether you choose a resolution, a goal, a word - we'd love for you to share it with us on our FB page and maybe inspire others. Remember: Our students return on Tuesday, January 4th. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Playing school sports is all about fundamentals, fundamentals of the sport, and fundamentals of life. Coach Sherl wants the athletes he coaches to walk away with the most enjoyable experience on the baseball field, but he also wants them to be better people. Before Thanksgiving break, the Claremore Baseball team filled the community food pantry at the Rogers County jail with more than three pickup loads of food! After the shelves were filled, the team took a tour through the jail. They were surprised to see that there were families in need benefiting from the donations when they finished the tour. Coach wants to give them experiences they never forget and empower them to impact the world around them...starting in Claremore, OK. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
