CYCA's district-wide cause to raise awareness and funds for this year is Organ Donation Awareness. We will take part in a green-out Tuesday March 3rd. This year's cause is inspired by staff member Bridget Flick, who was put on the transplant list last July due to her stage 4 kidney disease. If you are interested in being a donor, please see this link- http://livingdonorsluh.org/ The cause was also inspired by Cobden alum Kyle Hall, who was put on the transplant list October 2024 and has stage 5 kidney disease. Proceeds from shirt orders will go to the National Kidney Foundation. Below is the t-shirt we are selling to raise funds for the organization. The winning design was created by students Rae Cash and Lucas Aguirre in Art Club, and then brought to fruition by Tony Phillipe with Silkworm. Forms are due by Tuesday Feb. 10th. Forms will also be sent home with students. You may also fill out and print this form, or shirts can be purchased from this link- https://shopsilkworm.com/cobdenhscyca
Due to continued snowy and icy road conditions and extremely cold temperatures, Cobden Schools will be closed tomorrow, Tuesday, January 27.
The safety of our students and staff is our top priority. Please stay safe and warm, and thank you for your understanding.

🎄 Fourth Grade Christmas Caring Project 🎄
Our fourth-grade students recently completed their annual Christmas Caring Project in support of our local veterans, and we couldn’t be more proud of their kindness and thoughtfulness.
Each student handmade a Christmas card filled with appreciation and holiday cheer. In addition, we prepared 60 gift bags, ensuring that every veteran at the Anna Veterans Home will receive a special card and gift. Each bag includes diabetic socks, a packet of tissues, and we also donated several jars of melt-away mints to share.
This project is a meaningful way for our students to learn the importance of gratitude, service, and honoring those who have served our country. Thank you to our fourth graders, Mrs. Tripp, and Mrs. Marks, for helping spread warmth and holiday joy this season. ❤️🇺🇸
