Dozens of Cobden students, staff, and community members joined together this morning for “See You at the Pole,” an annual student-led day of prayer held at school flagpoles around the world.
Our freshmen Agriculture students spent today learning about the FFA emblem and what each part represents. Then they put their creativity and their sweet tooth to work by designing cookies using different foods to symbolize the elements of the emblem!
There was learning, creativity, plenty of fun, and, of course… a whole lot of sugar was ingested!
What a fun way to make learning about FFA memorable!
