CHS NJROTC Commander named Rotary Star When Murry Estabrook retired from his active- duty assignment as an officer in the Navy of the United States he took his commitment to service with him. His record of “service above self”, the motto of Rotary International, made him the obvious choice to be recognized by the Claremore Reveille Rotary Club as the first recipient of the club’s “YOU are a Rotary Star Award.” Read more - https://www.claremore.k12.ok.us/article/415737

THEIR FIGHT IS OUR FIGHT Cancer may feel like someone else's fight if you have not experienced it in your own life. But CHS has decided THEIR FIGHT IS OUR FIGHT! Over the past four years, the ZUAC (Zebras United Against Cancer) Committee has helped raise over 9K to help our ZEBRA family members fighting this disease directly. We have supported students & employees with Lymphoma, Prostate Cancer, Leukemia, Ewings Sarcoma, Breast Cancer, & Pancreatic Cancer in our elementary schools, our junior high, and our high school. We have experienced this disease as a family district-wide. This is why our theme this year is "THEIR FIGHT IS OUR FIGHT" because family takes care of family. Although all our clubs contribute to the fundraising, the ZUAC t-shirt sales are the largest part of our efforts. We hope you will be a part of showing our #CPSZEBRPRIDE and giving hope to our ZEBRA family members.

Exploration & experimentation is the "♥" of education. Coach McQueen's Honors Principles of Biomedical Science class used both technology and a hands-on lab to dissect a heart. The Biomed program is available to students in the 10th - 12th grades. Next year this class, Honors Human Body Systems, and Honors Medical Interventions, will be offered in the Biomed program. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Sara Faye Lahr is the Claremore High School Site Teacher of the Year. Mrs. Lahr teaches Sophomore Pre-AP and on-level English. Mrs. Lahr’s teaching style encompasses humility, self-awareness, and authenticity. She strives to use her humanity as an example for students, allowing them a safe place to grow, make mistakes, express themselves, learn…” Put what you know in motion...apply what you’ve learned” (Hill). Mrs. Lahr has a knack for challenging students to take the English text and apply it to their current and future lives. To filter through their biases, challenges, and victories, and identify what they believe - to ignite the fire within. “Each of my students is unique, and I work to individualize methods to help light their drive and passion. To create self-thinkers, who want to be passionate about their futures.” “I don’t want only to unlock a love of literature, but I want to be someone in their life that makes them feel safe, loved, valued, and wanted. The greatest reward is seeing my students having an epiphany about the world, themselves, the deeper meaning, or an applicable lesson in a story.” Mrs. Lahr truly understands the meaning of being part of the Zebra family. She actively collaborates with her fellow teachers (or siblings, as she calls them), coordinates the Zebra Advisement Program (ZAP), and sponsors the Freshman mentoring program (FUZE). “If you want A+ students, you need A+ teachers,” she added. She models that by continually striving to find innovative ways to elicit student understanding, whether through technology, dressing up as a character in a book, or collaborating with her fellow teachers. Bottom line - her #CPSZEBRAPRIDE is apparent to all who know her. https://youtu.be/L76l0zF00F4
