We are asking the public to help "Turn Greene County Purple" on Tuesday, October 29, 2024. Everyone in Greene County is asked to wear something purple or wear a purple ribbon to raise public awareness as we work to end domestic violence against men, women, and children. The purple ribbon is a visible gesture of support for survivors and victims of domestic violence. Unfortunately, domestic violence is far too prevalent. Greene County has had 53 domestic abuse calls and 25 suspected abusers arrested for domestic abuse assault so far this year. Please plan to wear purple on Tuesday, October 29. There will be purple ribbons available at the high school, Thomas Jefferson Gardens, and the Jefferson Public Library. Thank you for your support.

As a reminder, there will be no school for Greene County students tomorrow, Friday, October 25th, 2024 for teacher professional development and the end of Quarter 1.

All fans that plan on attending the 1st Round Football Playoff game at Clarinda Friday are encouraged to purchase tickets online beforehand. You can purchase tickets at this link- https://www.iahsaa.org/tickets/ If you plan to purchase a ticket at the gate, you will need a debit/credit card and enter through the SOUTH gate as that will be the only gate that will have a card reader. The north gate will be just for scanning tickets purchased ahead of time.
