Halloween Costume Drive!
Cobden Sr. Beta Club is collecting new or gently used Halloween costumes throughout November. Help us make next year’s spooky season memorable for local families by donating your outgrown or unused costumes.
What we’re looking for:
School-appropriate costumes (rip, tear, and stain-free)
Accessories welcome!
Please, no inflatable costumes
Donations can be dropped off with Mrs. Reiman at Cobden High School.
Your support keeps the spirit of giving (and Halloween!) alive — thank you for helping Sr. Beta make a difference in our community!

Our Jr. High Halloween Dodgeball Tournament was a hit! Everyone had a great time, and Team 4 came out on top as this year’s champions. 🏆 🎃
Cobden FFA is in the house!
National FFA Days 1 & 2 are DONE and we are LIVING IT UP! Rodeo? Opening session? Cheering on our Illinois legend, National FFA President Thadius! Learning about female pig reproductive tracts? Just check all that off the list!
And the boys were up singing and smiling at 6:40 a.m. because Cobden brings the energy no matter the hour!
Then A’ric Jackson took the mic and absolutely owned the stage! His passion, his fire, and his message to be UNAPOLOGETICALLY YOU hit every heart in the room. He has us shouting “YAAASSS!” and ready to CLOCK THAT!
Cobden FFA came to learn, lead, and shine bright as our authentic selves.
