We are so excited to announce the addition of some new staff members to the Claremont family! Next up Mrs. Kyla Burke, School Nurse. "Why Claremont?" I’ve been a nurse since 2016 and my hopes have always been to be a school nurse. I love the Claremore Public School district, so when the opportunity arose for a school nurse opening, I had to apply! My husband teaches and my child is starting kindergarten in the district. Claremont has amazing teachers, administration, and kids! I look forward to step into this position and become a Claremore Zebra! "What are you most excited about this coming year?" I am excited to jump into this position and serve the students of Claremore. I come from acute care, so I look forward to getting to know all of the staff and kiddos this year and for all the years to come! Give Mrs. Burke a warm welcome in the comments!! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
