Good morning OCS families! Due to too many riders on the Antelope bus, we will be moving some students over to the Big Horn Sheep bus to accommodate. All of those who's stops are along the Page Springs stretch will now be on the Big Horn Sheep bus for both the AM and PM routes, with the exception of Page Springs and Bright Star. This will begin tomorrow, Friday Sept 27. The routes have been updated on our website so you can see the times from there. Thank you for your understanding! - Daniel Maldonado, Transportation Director

Oak Creek School's Agriculture and Culinary Program is pleased to announce its partnership with Manzanita Outreach. Mrs. Ludden is utilizing the produce from the food share program to educate students on both the practical applications of the food provided through this assistance program and the health benefits associated with consuming fruits and vegetables. Recently, students prepared a vegetable and fruit juice using apples, grapes, and beets from the week's share box. The resulting juice was both delicious and nutritious. Thank you Manzanita Outreach for your commitment to our community and families.
CCS, DDB and OCS families:
