An Archery Tournament was held last Saturday for 3 of our Valley Schools. OCS, DDB, and CCS. Under the umbrella of 21st CCLC After-School. It was great fun. The kids did a great job and are very good archers. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped out and especially those from Rim Country Bow Hunters Association. It was so much fun we are doing it again next year

🌟📚 This week has been nothing short of amazing as we celebrated the incredible efforts of our learners on their Arizona State Assessments! 🎉✨ All the late nights studying, the determination, and the perseverance truly paid off, and we couldn't be prouder. But this success wasn't achieved alone - it truly takes a village to raise a child. 🏡💙 We're immensely grateful for our wonderful community whose generous donations made it possible to reward our hardworking students with some fantastic prizes. 🎁👏 Thank you, everyone, for being part of our village and for making a difference in the lives of these exceptional students. Together, we're shaping a brighter future! 🌟📚 #CottonwoodCommunitySchool #CCS #CottonwoodOakCreekSchoolDistrict #COCSD #CCSRocks #CommunitySupport #StudentSuccess #Gratitude #Teamwork #ArizonaEducation 🌵🎓

Oak Creek School celebrated Earth Day yesterday! Eighth graders created an earth and covered it in trash. The rest of the school made handprints with their pledges to help protect the earth. They each took a piece of trash off the earth, threw it away, and added their handprint in its place. They then released butterflies! 🌎🗑🤚🎨🦋

Good morning OCS Families... we will be without our usual driver for Wild Burro this afternoon. Wild Burro students will be released 1 hr earlier today from school to accommodate this. Please plan on students being dropped off at their bus stop 1 hr sooner than normally scheduled. If you prefer your student to stay at school for that regular hour, please make alternative transportation for your student to get home. The morning route WILL run as normally scheduled. Thank you - Daniel Maldonado, Transportation Director
