Mr. Grossman is excited to announce the choice for this year’s play: Qui Nguyen's dramatic comedy, She Kills Monsters: Young Adventurers Edition!
She Kills Monsters tells the story of Agnes Evans, a completely average high schooler whose life is turned upside down when her younger sister, Tilly, dies. To understand the sister she never truly knew, Agnes dives into Tilly’s world: a high-fantasy, tabletop role-playing game. Alongside an awkward Dungeon Master named Chuck, Agnes embarks on an epic quest through the fantastical world of New Landia, encountering fierce monsters, witty elves, and three-headed dragons. This play is a hilarious, touching, and action-packed adventure about grief, sisterhood, and finding your true self in the most unexpected places.
Auditions will be held Wednesday, January 7th after school in Mr. Grossman's room for any interested High School student. Please see Mr. Grossman to pick up an Audition Packet ASAP! We hope to see many of you there!

BIG NEWS from Appleknocker Country!
There’s something really exciting growing in the Cobden Ag Department! Our horticulture students fired up our brand-new Fork Farm hydroponics system!
Students started by germinating lettuce seeds, then carefully transplanted them into the system. Now they’re testing pH and nutrient levels every single day, making sure everything is just right. This is hands-on learning full of pride, hard work, and a whole lot of heart.
And get this… in about 30 days, this setup will produce around 30 pounds of fresh in house grown lettuce.
Our vision? To keep expanding until we’re serving fresh, Cobden-grown lettuce in the school lunchroom. From our students’ hands to our school’s tables. That’s the Appleknocker way!
Proud of our kids. Proud of our community. Proud to be an Appleknocker.


Tonight come out and support the High School Boys Basketball Team !

Mrs. Taylor’s 8th grade Social Studies class visited the Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum in St. Louis today as part of a cross-curricular study of WWII and the Holocaust with Mrs. Morrison and Mrs. Treece. Students had the opportunity to interact with museum exhibits and hear survivor stories.
