🎆 COMMUNITY NOTICE: FIREWORKS AT FRIDAY NIGHT’S FOOTBALL GAME 🦅🏈

As part of Friday night’s 100-Year Celebration and Hall of Fame Game at Clay Memorial Stadium, fans and nearby community members should be aware that professional fireworks will be used throughout the evening as part of a special game-day experience.

💥 Fireworks are planned for:
• During portions of and at the conclusion of the National Anthem 🇺🇸
• Each time the Eagles score a touchdown and following the extra point
• Following the Clay Marching Band’s halftime performance
• During an approximately 8-minute postgame fireworks show

All required permits for the fireworks display have been pulled and obtained. The display has also been coordinated with the Oregon Police Division (OPD) and Oregon Fire and Rescue to help ensure the event is conducted safely and responsibly.

Because of the noise associated with the fireworks, we want to provide advance notice to our neighbors, families with young children, veterans, individuals who may be sensitive to loud noises, and pet owners so everyone has an opportunity to prepare accordingly.

A huge THANK YOU to our Department of Athletics partners, Danny’s Café and Maumee Bay Turf Center, for making this experience possible!

One of our continued goals within Clay Athletics is to create first-class experiences for our student-athletes, families, fans, and community — experiences that make Friday nights at Clay special and create memories that extend well beyond the final score. We are incredibly fortunate to have community partners who believe in that vision and continue to invest in our students, our programs, and our community.

Friday night will be more than a football game. It will be a celebration of 100 years of Clay High School, our Hall of Fame Class of 2026, and generations of Eagles who have proudly represented our school and community.

We appreciate the support and understanding of our surrounding community and look forward to an unforgettable night at Clay Memorial Stadium!

🦅 100 Years of Clay. Celebrating Our Past. Creating Memories for the Next Generation.

On Monday, our staff visited the Challenger Learning Center to participate in a simulated Lunar Mission! 🚀

As educators, the mission reminded us of the importance of teamwork and gave us a renewed appreciation for the growth students experience when they are challenged by new or unknown situations. The lessons we learned helped us refocus on our own mission to our students and the entire Jet Community: to provide engaging, high-quality education.

A special thank you to Sara Ellet, Director of the Challenger Learning Center, for a wonderful experience! We are grateful for the opportunity to learn, collaborate, and experience the mission together. 🌟

⭐LUKAS League = League of Upstanding Kindness At School⭐

LUKAS League had a busy morning! We announced students from 4th grade who were caught being KIND!

We had a special guest, Mrs. Mason (Lukas' mom) come to visit! She was so excited to be part of our last shirt drawing for the year! 20 students who've had their name submitted to the LUKAS League Headquarters this year, won a t-shirt!🏆

Mrs. Mason personally thanked these students for using their 20 square feet to make a difference!

Way to go, JETS!🚀

The halls of Jerusalem were buzzing with creative energy today! We were thrilled to host the wonderful author Shannon Anderson for a day dedicated to the magic of storytelling and writing.

It was an action-packed schedule from start to finish:

Inspiring Every Grade: Shannon led high-energy presentations for our Kindergarteners all the way through 4th grade, sparking a love for reading in every student!

VIP Lunch: Our Claire’s Day winners enjoyed a special "Author Lunch," getting a behind-the-scenes look at the life of a writer!

Young Authors Workshop: Our 3rd and 4th graders got to sharpen their pencils for three intensive writing sessions, learning expert tips on how to bring their own stories to life.

A Huge Thank You! This incredible day was made possible thanks to the generous support of a grant from Right To Read and the Jerusalem Parents Group. Thank you for investing in our students' literacy and creativity!
