Claremont 4th grade class wins UP Flag Art contest

Mrs. Flint’s 4th Grade class at Claremont Elementary School is the winner of the Union Pacific Flag Art Contest designed to promotion train history and safety here in Claremore. Fourth-grade classes all over town participated in the contest. Attendees at this year’s Sip, Savor & Shop: Taste of Claremore voted for their favorite flag. The winning class received $100, courtesy of Claremore Main Street and Claremore Area Chamber of Commerce, the contest’s hosts. The flag will be delivered to the contest’s sponsor, UP Railroad, to hang in their corporate office. All the classes’ flags are hanging in downtown Claremore all during the month of May, Train Safety Month.
