Mr. Grossman is excited to announce the choice for this year’s play: The One-Act Play That Goes Wrong!
You all know the classic murder mystery story. There has been an untimely death at a country manor, everyone is a suspect, and an inspector is set on the case to find who the culprit is. However, when this play is performed by the accident-prone thespians of The Cornley Drama Society, everything that can go wrong…does! The actors and crew battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences! Over the course of an hour, expect a plethora of disasters from missed lines to falling props. Do you ever find out who murdered Charles Haversham? You’ll have to see for yourself!
Auditions will be held Tuesday, February 22nd 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!

Great news! Mrs. Nashberry would like to thank the students in the former Class of 2021 and current students in the Class of 2025. Their letter writing campaign last year in both Civics and Mrs. Taylor's social studies classes have helped result in our area receiving one of the Connect Illinois grants that will help bring broadband internet to people without it in our area. According to WK&T, about 682 locations in the grant award area are also part of the Cobden School District territory. WK&T says the students should be proud that their letters helped make a difference in their community! https://www.wsiltv.com/news/state-investing-47-million-to-expand-broadband-in-illinois/article_d7bed034-7ee8-11ec-8f2d-ff045537726a.html
