Jonesboro Independent School District

Boo Grams are LIVE!

Congratulations to JISD freshman and FFA member Rylee Retana! Rylee showed her Angora goats at the State Fair of Texas this weekend, earning 3rd and 4th place.

We’re proud of her hard work and the way she represented Jonesboro FFA!

The Spark van visited JISD to kick off our STEM program with lots of fun, hands-on activities! Students in grades K–12 explored interactive coding, robotics, and flying drones. Thank you to the Spark team for bringing these exciting learning opportunities to our Eagles!

💛🦅 THANK YOU, MOMMA DOSSEY! 🦅💛 After several years of running our concession stand with remarkable ease, organization, and efficiency, Momma Dossey is retiring from her role with the Jonesboro Athletics Booster Club. She has given countless hours to making sure the concession stand runs smoothly, and we are incredibly grateful for everything she has done for our athletes, coaches, school, and booster club. We truly appreciate her dedication and all the work she has put in over the years! ❤️ Now, we need someone — or several someones — to step into her role. The concession stand is the major fundraiser for the Athletics Booster Club. The money raised through the concession stand goes directly toward providing much-needed support for our students, athletes, coaches, and athletic programs. If we are unable to find someone to take over this responsibility, we will have to outsource the concession stand, which would mean our students and staff would miss out on a significant source of the much-needed funds the Booster Club provides. We are putting this information out now so that anyone interested can help with the remaining football games this season, work alongside Momma Dossey, and learn exactly what is involved in running the concession stand. This is a great opportunity for someone — or a group of people — to learn the process and help keep this important fundraiser in-house for our kids. 🦅 If you are interested, please contact one of our Athletics Booster Club officers: 📞 Matt Dossey 📞 Kendra Byrom 📞 Courtney Bryson Let’s show Momma Dossey how much we appreciate her by finding someone willing to carry on the job she has done so well! ❤️ Thank you, Momma Dossey, for everything you have done for Jonesboro Athletics! 💛🦅 Go Eagles!
