From the German department: Thank you to all the students and families who helped make the 21st annual German
dinner at Salem United Church of Christ a huge success! Student volunteers cooked and served 93 guests a complete German meal of salad, roll, Rouladen, Spätzle and dessert as well as provided entertainment via trivia, dancing, music and a skit. The proceeds from this event will go into the German student scholarship fund.
Tennis practice starts March 25, at the VAHS courts no experience necessary, no cut policy. The Verona FFA hosted the Section 5 FFA Leadership Development Event on Tuesday March 12th at

We want to congratulate Kelsey Last who competed in both the extemporaneous and discussion events.

Hello all Wildcat fam il ies,My name is Jorge Avalos and I am one of the Associate Principals at the
Verona Area High School. I want to bring to your attention a more recent
issue that is affecting teenagers across the country. That is, I am writing to
you about the increasing use of e-cigarettes, also known as vape pens and
Juuls. Please have this conversation with your teenager and discuss the
harm done by such products that contain nicotine. They are not allowed in
school and our students are finding ways to use them in high school
bathrooms, classrooms, and social media. Please be aware that such use
has school consequences for our students and student-athletes and is a
direct violation of the student code of conduct.
- Vaping is the act of inhaling & exhaling the aerosol (vapor), which is produced by an e-cigarette or similar device.
- The term is used because e-cigarettes do not produce tobacco smoke, but rather an aerosol, often mistaken for water vapor, that actually consists of fine particles.
- Many of these particles contain varying amounts of toxic chemicals, which have been linked to cancer, as well as respiratory and heart disease.
- Vaping devices include not just e-cigarettes, but also vape pens and advanced personal vaporizers (also known as MODS).
- Generally, a vaping device consists of a mouthpiece, a battery, a cartridge for containing the e-liquid or e-juice, and a heating component for the device that is powered by a battery.
- When the device is used, the battery heats up the heating component, which turns the contents of the e-liquid into an aerosol that is inhaled into the lungs and then exhaled.
- The newest and most popular vaping product is the JUUL, which is a small, sleek device that resembles a computer USB flash drive. Its subtle design makes it easy to hide, which helps explain why it has become so popular among middle and high school students. It comes in several enticing flavors like, mango, strawberry, peach, and fruit medley. Every JUUL product contains a high dose of nicotine, with one pod or flavor cartridge containing about the same amount of nicotine as a whole pack of cigarettes.
I hope this information is helpful to start the conversation with your teenager about the harmful effects of such devices. Our collective efforts will help reduce the use of e-cigarettes in the Verona Area School District.
Sincerely,
J. Avalos

Congratulations to Zach Oestiech who is doing dynamic things and is a great representative of VAHS! This year he has logged hundreds of hours of community service, he raises chickens, and shows rabbits. He is always willing to help and is a wonderful role
model.
The VAHS FFA was invited to the Madison Club. There, Zach was honored for his achievements by
the Kiwanis Club of downtown Madison.
Zachary Oestreich, member of the FFA Chapter of Verona High School, is presented the Louis M. Sasman Award by Dick Hammerstrom, President of the Kiwanis Club of Downtown Madison. They are joined by FFA Chapter advisor, Jamie Morris. The Sasman Award is given annually to an outstanding student from each of the FFA Chapters at Dane County High Schools. Mr. Sasman was the State Supervisor for Vocational Education for 36 years and a member of the Kiwanis Club of Downtown Madison for over 40 years.
Governor Tony Evers gave his first state budget address before a joint session of the State Legislature on February 28, 2019. His budget emphasized the need to increase school funding, especially for special education. One of our students, Mac Austin, was invited by Governor Evers to attend his budget address. Mac and his parents went to the capital and the governor?s mansion. Mac said the governor was "really nice" and his speech was "really cool."
We were proud to have Mac and his family representing the Verona Area School District.
