Our 2nd graders had a fantastic visit from Mrs. Zachary, a Missouri State Parks employee, who taught them all about the historic Bollinger Mill! Students enjoyed a virtual tour of the mill and even had the opportunity to grind their own corn and wheat.
Both 2nd grade classes have been reading the Little House on the Prairie series, so it was especially exciting for them to see how the Ingalls family would have gotten flour and cornmeal in the late 1800s. Such a fun and meaningful hands-on learning experience!
Congratulations, Cobden Elementary families… your 1st Day School Supplies store is now open. Yes, it feels early. And that’s actually the point. Ordering now means you can check school supplies off your list before summer even begins. No scrambling in July. No store runs in August. Just the exact supplies teachers requested, handled in a few simple clicks. It only takes a few minutes to select our school and choose your child’s grade. Everything will arrive packaged and ready for the first day. There’s something nice about heading into summer knowing one big thing is already done. 👉 Order Here: https://1stdayschoolsupplies.com/gs/31509
Mrs. Raganyi's Pre-K Class had a special visitor and presentation today! Mrs. Zachary came in to show the class how to make their own flour! It was a cool, fun, and exciting experience for everyone!
Shoutout to our Amazing Appleknockers: Mrs. Jerrell, Everett Hale, and Mrs. Tripp! 🍎 Your hard work, positivity, and dedication do not go unnoticed—thank you for all you do!
Yesterday the cafeteria served up some delicious fresh chicken tacos with pico de gallo using local chicken! The students and staff all enjoyed the wonderful meal!
The Cobden Elementary School Appleknocker Club would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to Mrs. Engelmann and her Ed Rising students for visiting! They provided a snack, read a book with the students, helped everyone create a superhero, and gifted each Appleknocker Club student a book. We truly appreciate the time, effort, and kindness they shared with our students!

Ms. Lyerla’s first grade class took advantage of the sunshine today by taking their learning outside! ☀️ It was a beautiful day to enjoy fresh air while staying engaged and focused on learning.
Ms. Lacy’s students got festive for St. Patrick’s Day by creating colorful rainbows using Fruit Loops, marshmallows, and pipe cleaners. A fun and creative way to celebrate! 🌈🍀
Congratulations to our 4th and 5th grade Kindness Poster Contest winners! 🎨💙
These students used their creativity to share powerful messages about kindness and how we can make our school a better place. We are proud of the thought, effort, and positivity they put into their work. Great job representing what it means to be kind! 👏
Ms. Mueller’s 1st graders made math hands-on today! 🥨
They practiced adding two-digit numbers using pretzels for tens and Cheerios for ones — a fun (and tasty!) way to see place value in action. Way to make learning stick!
