Cobden Homecoming Update:
Student Council has been busy planning this year's Homecoming activities. The theme is "Save the Last Dance" and is scheduled for February 1st-5th. In keeping with Covid guidelines, we are working to have the traditional games and activities while also keeping safety a priority. Students will be allowed to dress up throughout the week and sign up to participate in Battle of the Classes on Friday, February 5th. The games will be in the morning hours instead of the afternoon and will be live-streamed on YouTube. Students will watch the games from their classrooms, and parents are also encouraged to watch.
The homecoming court will be announced next week, but the coronation will look a bit different this year. Coronation is scheduled for Saturday, February 6th, at 6:00 pm in the gymnasium. All members of the court will attend, along with their parents. The ceremony will be live-streamed as well for others to view. At this point, a Homecoming dance will not be planned but may be allowed later in the year if mitigations allow it.
Student Council has done a fabulous job planning new and creative activities for this year's Homecoming. Further details will follow as we continue to get closer to February 1st.
