Dear Staff,
What a great week to be a Buckeye and a Celtic! The week started with the Buckeyes winning the undisputed National Championship and ended with a great weekend of Celtic athletic success, including our Boys BB Team upsetting Westerville South, the #2 rated team in the State! Wow!

| The Buckeyes enter the field to fireworks and wild cheering from the mostly Buckeye crowd. |
A dream come true-- a National Championship and another special life memory.
Friday night was a sell-out, standing room-only basketball crowd-- the first in school history! We faced the #2 team in the State with an electric atmosphere and won 72-60! Congrats to Jamie Pearson and his entire coaching staff and team who has worked so hard to transform our basketball program. It was also great to see so many staff members there cheering alongside our parents and students!

| An electric atmosphere-- a thrilling upset! |

| Friday our football team also met our new Head Football Coach Bob Gecewich for the first time. Coach Gecewich is eager to get started! |
This Week--
Monday: No School for students and staff. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day community celebration at 11 AM at Dublin Coffman. Senior Yannick Gbadouwey will represent Jerome as a student guest speaker at this wonderful event. I Have a Dream-- one of the greatest speeches ever delivered in the history of our nation.
Tuesday: Girls BB vs. Coffman at home. 7:30 PM.
Wednesday: Working Wednesday. Please be sure and review your D and F data, both by student and by same-subject team. Since we are focusing on Question #3, how are we intervening with students who earned a D or F on their exam as a same-subject team? Questions to consider-- What is the number of D's and F's on exam and what is the reason? Do some teachers on the team have more D's and F's than others? What could be possible reasons? What is the district data on D's and F's on those common exams or for the parts that are common? What help and support does your same-subject team need to move forward?

Friday: PTO Breakfast in the lounge. PAC meeting 5th period.
