COCSD and Mingus Mountain Camp and Retreat Center joined forces to facilitate an enriching experience for our 7th/8th grade and 5th/6th grade students from four schools, guiding them towards "Finding the YETI" (You Belong, Everyone Matters, Tenacious Courage, Inclusion for All). This invaluable opportunity, provided at no cost, left an indelible mark on our students, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Over two nights at Mingus Mountain, our students forged connections with peers from across the district, embarked on thrilling mountain adventures, and discovered the incredible qualities within themselves.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to Mingus Mountain and Mr. King, whose visionary dream brought children into the embrace of nature. We are also deeply grateful to the families who entrusted their children to support our inaugural Winter Camp at Mingus Mountain!

Technology class at Oak Creek School serves over 200 students. Tech teacher, Mr. Wheeler, wanted a way for students to store their headphones to extend their longevity. Viola! Low Income Student Aid, Inc. was able to purchase this rack for headphone storage.

Good morning OCS families... looks like one more day of no Big Horn Sheep for the AM run. Please get your students to school by other means. Same as yesterday, we will have PM coverage though. We are working to solve this issue by the time students return to school from Spring Break. - Daniel Maldonado, Transportation Director

Middle School students at Oak Creek School enjoy "Wacky Wednesday" each week. Students earn a little treat for having good grades, no office referrals or Rowdy Reflections. In an effort to not have teachers pay for such gestures out of pocket, Oak Creek Elementary PTO and Low Income Student Aid, Inc. both have helped support this small incentive.
