Isaac Forquer, chairman of the Catholic Youth Organization track and cross-country running commission, erred slightly on his clockwork. In early February, he proudly slated CYOs first ever cross-country time trials and practice for 5-7 p.m., with batches of kids coming every 15 minutes or so to keep good distance.

MILWAUKIE Students and staff at St. John the Baptist School here have had students on campus in a hybrid learning model for most of the year.
The students first were only on campus for two hours at a time. Soon, they transitioned into mornings in person and digital learning in the afternoon. But on Jan. 19, the school brought their students back for in-person learning on campus all day, every day.
