The Eighth Grade class went to SCC to participate in the "Welcome to the Real World" program hosted by 4H. The Cobden Teen Leaders were the facilitators. This was a culminating experience in which the students chose a career path and made a series of related "real world" decisions. Students could then see how these decisions affected their bank account based on their chosen career salary.

Tuesday March 3rd the entire Cobden School District took part in a green-out to raise awareness for the cause of organ donations. The event was coordinated by CYCA, and inspired by staff member Bridget Flick and alum Kyle Hall. Checks were presented to both of them to help with fuel costs to St. Louis, and $554.50 was mailed to the National Kidney Foundation. Thankfully Kyle received his kidney transplant earlier this past month from CYCA President Alivia Kilpatrick's mom- Sarah. Bridget is still looking for a donor, if you are interested in learning more, please visit-
