Roosa Elementary is named after the famous 🚀 Astronaut Stuart Roosa 🚀 who is from Claremore, Oklahoma and orbited the moon on Apollo 14 fifty years ago. Stuart Roosa took with him some tree seeds to be brought back to Earth and planted. These trees are now known as “Moon Trees.” Today his daughter, Rosemary Roosa, stopped by Claremore. She brought a Moon Tree and planted it at The Claremore Museum of History. Afterwards she stopped by the school named after her father, Roosa Elementary. A few Roosa students were there to welcome her and Cooper Key, 4th grader at Roosa gave a tour of the school. Rosemary Roosa signed a copy of her book, To the Moon: An Autobiography of an Apollo Astronaut’s Daughter and gave it to the Roosa Library. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Once Upon a Time in 2nd grade the teachers taught the students about the Genre of Fairy Tales. One day in May the students dressed up as Lords and Ladies and went to the PAC. Under the lights of the big stage their smiles sparkled as they recited poems. They bowed, curtsied and danced the morning away. Then ended the school year Happily Ever After. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

This is a reminder that Friday, May 21st, is a FULL DAY of IN-PERSON learning for traditional and hybrid PreK -12th grade. Students and staff are expected to be in the school buildings on that day for instruction. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

The second Friday in May is #schoolprday, also called National School Communicators Day. A day where schools recognize the work behind the scenes of those who tell our school's story, share celebrations, and keep us informed. Yesterday we celebrated the team behind the communications curtin. Our Communications Specialists or as some often refer to them, "the Facebook lady" or "the website lady" or because they play many roles at their site it could be the "front desk lady", the "library lady", the "camera lady"... you get the picture (see what I did there?). As a team, we want to thank all of our Claremore Public School staff, students, and community, for sharing their #CPSZEBRAPRIDE through excellent pictures, updates, and content. For without you, there wouldn't be a story to tell. 📷Jamie Brace - District / CHS 📷Vanessa Mudd - Roosa 📷Ashley Troyer - Claremont 📷Rachel Salcido - Catalayah 📷Sayre Whitaker - Westside (not pictured) 📷Melissa Jauquet - WRJH (not pictured) Thank you, ladies, for everything you do to connect, communicate, celebrate, and create a partnership with our CPS families and the community.

Creative 2nd graders showed off their talents! They combined multi-model medium using watercolors and crayons to finish their fairy tale unit by making their own castle. They have been preparing for the Fairy Tale Ball that will take place later this month. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
