CYCA's district-wide cause to raise awareness and funds for this year is the Carbondale Warming Center. We will take part in a green-out May 8th. The Carbondale Warming Center can accommodate 39 guests in the emergency shelter and 40 in the overflow program. They provide three meals daily with assistance from a partnership with Bethel AME church’s Feed My Sheep Program. They also provide clothing, shoes, and hygiene items. Below is the t-shirt we are selling to raise funds for the organization. Forms are due by Monday, April 14th. Forms are being sent home with students. You may also fill out and print this form, or shirts can be purchased from this link- https://shopsilkworm.com/cobdenhscwc
Due to the forecast of impending severe weather and uncertainty of timing this afternoon, Cobden Unit School District will dismiss early today at 12:00 PM. This decision has been made with the safety of our students and staff as our top priority.
All after-school activities and events are also canceled for today. Please make the necessary arrangements to ensure your child is picked up or arrives home safely.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Stay safe, and please continue to monitor district communication channels for any further updates.
