Junior High students enjoyed the No-Guided Study Hall field trip this morning!
On Saturday, Cobden Youth & Community Advocates (CYCA) and Beta Club joined forces to honor Veterans as part of the Wreaths Across America program by helping lay wreaths on all veterans graves at both Cobden and Alto Pass ceremonies. Mrs. Nashberry, Ms. Coplea and Mrs. Duty would like the students to know they are very proud of their efforts, for on their own time the students put out the wreaths in the cold, windy, pouring rain without complaint because they knew the importance of the cause.
