Our goal with the Weekly Events Calendar is to include one-time events, important meetings, upcoming holidays, breaks, or no school days. Our online calendar, which you can find on the district website, lists all events, including after-school clubs, sports practices, and other community activities. This calendar is updated in real-time, so it's a great resource to see what's happening around the school district.

Read Across America is an annual event celebrated on or near March 2nd, which is the birthday of children's author Dr. Seuss. It is a nationwide event created by the National Education Association (NEA) in 1997 to promote literacy and encourage a love of reading among children.

Our elementary schools will celebrate with special days and events. Don't miss out on fun pictures and videos we'll post on social media throughout the week. Did you know reading to your child for 5-10 minutes every night can improve their performance in school and ensure they graduate high school? Let's make reading a priority at both home and school!

The Suesville website offers all kinds of resources for exploration, activities, games, and videos. Check it out!

The Crook County Cowboys Wrestling team brings home a 3rd-Place trophy after a snowstorm delayed state competition at Memorial Coliseum in Portland. We've uploaded the final results to the wrestling page on the CCHS website. You can check out individual scores here.

After years of boys wrestling domination, MaKenna Duran becomes the first Crook County girls wrestler to win gold! Gavin Sandoval also gets a 1st-place finish at 152! CC had a total of 12 wrestlers (1 girl and 11 boys) place at state. Way to go!!!

The Cowgirls basketball team took care of business on Saturday by knocking off Phoenix High School of Southern Oregon in a play-in game 53-38. The Cowgirls qualify for the 1st Round of the playoffs and will travel for an away game this Friday. Their most likely opponent is La Grande.
