What a week for our wildcat readers! Battle of the Books competitions are going on this week, and our young readers have brought home some bling! Yesterday our 2nd grade team--Eliza, Addi, and Matthew-- won 3rd place. Today, Addison braved the 3rd grade competition all on her own, and she brought home 3rd place as well!
The Umpire kindergarten and preschool had some very special guests yesterday to help them "Run the Zoo with Dr. Suess." Wylie Wildcat and some friends visited the classroom to read with our youngest wildcats.
"Reading to children at least 10 minutes a day can make a difference, and it's never too early to start. Language-rich moments help children develop their communication skills, recognize sounds and letters, and will increase their vocabulary" (ADE).
The Career Connect event is organized as a Reverse Career Fair, offering a fresh and engaging approach to connecting students with employers. Instead of employers hosting booths, students took the lead, setting up tables to showcase their skills, interests, and career goals.
Employers rotated through the event, engaging in meaningful conversations with students who align with their industry and workforce needs. This format allowed students to highlight their strengths while gaining valuable insight into career pathways and employment opportunities.
Events like Career Connect provide a powerful opportunity for students to build confidence, network with professionals, and take the next step toward their future careers.

For over 60 years, the Four States Bandmasters Association has provided outstanding music education and professional development opportunities for band students and directors within a 100-mile radius of Texarkana.
What began as an opportunity for directors to gather and hear new compositions has grown into an incredible event featuring selected student performers, clinics, and invited honor bands from across the region. Today, the association hosts two concert bands of approximately 100 students each, along with a jazz band of standard instrumentation.
Students are nominated by their band director and selected based on their resume of musical achievements — making this a tremendous honor!
We are proud to announce the following students were selected for the Concert Bands:
🎺 Elizabeth Hopkins – Euphonium
🎷 Ulysses Lopez – Alto Saxophone
🎶 Liliana Ruelas-Magana – Clarinet

Congratulations to these outstanding musicians for representing our program with excellence! 👏🎵
🎶 CRHS Band Students Attend Arkansas Tech University: Member for a Day Event – November 15, 2025 🎶
Last fall, three CRHS band students traveled to Arkansas Tech University to participate in “Member for a Day” — and what an unforgettable experience it was!
Students took part in a morning rehearsal, enjoyed a campus tour and lunch, and had the incredible opportunity to march into the stadium alongside the band. They performed in the stands with pep band music and fully experienced game day from a musician’s perspective. The highlight of the day was performing in the halftime show with over 500 musicians, including the ATU Arkansas Band of Distinction. What an amazing moment!
We are so proud of our students for representing Cossatot River at ATU. This is an experience they will never forget!
🎷 Ulysses Lopez – Alto Saxophone

🎶 Liliana Ruelas-Magana – Clarinet
Way to go, musicians! 👏🎵
