CYCA is planning a district-wide blue-out for Child Abuse Awareness Month on April 16th. Members are selling navy blue shirts for $12 throughout the community, and the plan is for students and staff to wear their blue-out shirts to help raise awareness of the cause on April 16th. Proceeds will go toward the Children's Medical and Mental Health Resource Network of Southern Illinois. The shirt design is a combination of insight from art student Jon Amon Ingold, CYCA members, and Tony Phillippe with Silkworm. CYCA members are also making informational posters to hang around the school about the cause. To purchase a shirt, see a CYCA member for a form, or order online at this store link- https://shopsilkworm.com/cobdenhscyca Forms can also be printed from the photo below. All orders and money are due March 19th.
