Thanks to Mr. Shoemate’s excellent grant writing skills, Cobden High School was able to order 6 new mountain bikes and helmets. Mr. Crawford is currently working to start an interscholastic mountain bike club through the NICA (National Interscholastic Cycling Association). The club is open to all high school students who may be interested, club memberships will start this Spring. Once established the club will do a weekly ride at Touch of Nature, learn basic cycling maintenance and assist in building/maintaining trails at Touch of Nature. We are very excited about this new club and what it has to offer our students here at CHS.
