Peterstown Middle School physical education teacher, Jodi Bowers, would like to thank local donors for their help in the purchase and construction of corn hole sets. She received monitary donations from Derrick and Melissa Leslie, Jessica and Hampton Pitzer, Nicole McKlarney Insurance Service, D. Sharp Logging/Mane Street Salon, and J&K Trucking. The cornhole boards were made by the JMHS Carpentry class at the Vo-Tech with their teacher Scotty Taylor overseeing the project. The corn hole bags were purchased through a grant and other school funds. Mrs. Bowers would like to thank everyone for helping the PE program and offering the Peterstown students opportunities to participate in learning skills of the game while looking good doing it.

On Monday, October 20, 2025, a mock disaster drill will take place at James Monroe High School.

This training exercise is part of our district's ongoing commitment to emergency preparedness and student safety. During the drill, you may see an increased presence of emergency vehicles and personnel on and around the school campus. Please know that this is a scheduled and controlled exercise—there is no cause for concern.

These drills allow our schools, first responders, and community partners to practice coordinated response procedures, ensuring we are well-prepared for a real emergency.

We appreciate your understanding, cooperation, and continued support as we work together to ensure the safety of our schools.
