Good Afternoon!

We had a great Homecoming Week here at Jerome. We started our Friday with donuts and ended it with our Fall Pep Rally! This evening we have our parade and football game versus Berlin at 7:00 pm And our celebration will culminate tomorrow with the Homecoming Dance!

We are looking forward to sharing the evening with your kids. Prior to the night out please be sure to have a conversation about your expectations. As teenagers our students encounter situations that cause them to make a number of choices (some good, some not so good). We want our students to do their best to make choices that keep them safe and healthy.

These conversations are important reminders and shows your care for them. They may not act like it, but they do appreciate it. Thank you for all your help and support! Have a wonderful weekend!

Better Together,

Mike

Attention Students and Families: The Sophomore Cabinet is selling packs of six pizza rolls for $13/pack. These make excellent quick-prep meals and would be perfect for a pre-Halloween dinner, tailgates, parties, snacks, or family dinners. All six rolls in a pack are one flavor and they can be frozen, so they’re perfect for last minute delicious handmade food.

Options are

1. pepperoni and cheese,
2. spicy pepperoni and cheese, and
3. garlic and cheese.

The money raised is going to support the Winter Dance on February 25, 2023. Our goal is to sell 1000 packs of these yummy, convenient, and ready-to-go pizza rolls. The funds will allow us to hire a DJ, buy decorations, and provide games and activities at the dance.
