Dear Staff,
Brrrrrrrrrrrr. Cold. Wind chill. Snow accumulation possible. It is hard to believe that it is mid-November and not mid-December with this weather forecast. We hope you have had a great weekend with your families and that you have fun family times keeping you warm.
What a wonderful week we had last week!

| Jerome Staff, CAP Mentors, and community members gather in the gym before Challenge Day. Because of all of you, freshmen now know how we are all more alike than different. Freshmen who needed extra help and support were referred for counseling. |

| We also celebrated Veteran's Day! Here Jerome teacher and Naval veteran Steve Dickman poses with Dave Weinz, a regular Jerome sub. Dave, who is battling bladder cancer, is one of our favorite Jerome family members. Dave is a Marine Cops veteran, a retired Colonel, who starting serving during the Vietnam War and retired for good in 2002. Semper Fi! |
