North Iowa will be hosting a PINK OUT night at our last home volleyball game October 14^th. The volleyball girls will have pink jerseys to wear for the game and we are offering PINK OUT shirts for sale for people to wear to the game. Shirts are $7 and must be PAID for by October 4^th (MONDAY). We will also be having a jersey auction following the game where the public will be able to bid on and purchase the pink jerseys worn by the players.

Pink Out shirts will be available for anyone (parents, elementary, middle, or high school) to order. Order forms will be in the office and sent home with Elementary kids this week and also on the North Iowa Homepage. Checks should be made payable to North Iowa High School. In order for us to get them by October 13rd, we need to place the order on the 4^th. Orders for shirts will not be accepted after Monday. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

For those that are not in High School… I can be found every afternoon from 12:30-3:30 in the High School media center. Thanks! Dy Quisling
