North Iowa will be hosting a PINK OUT night at our last home volleyball game October 14th. 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 4th (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 4th. 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

 

Punt, Pass & Kick - Friday, October 8 at Bison Football Field after Homecoming Parade sponsored by Farmers Trust & Savings Bank.  Age 7 through 14 (6-year-olds may also compete but will be put in the age 7 group).  Participants must have signed registration form with them. (forms were handed out in school)  Each participant will receive a free juice drink, candy bar and certificate for a hamburger special at the B.C. Restaurant.

HOMEWORK:  We are asking parents for some assistance with Reading and Math homework.  Please check your child’s’ bag daily for Guided Reading, which will consist of a book and a half sheet of paper in a plastic baggie.  Please have them read the book (or section of the book they were asked to read) to you and then sign the sheet of paper indicating they have read it.  In most cases, they will have read the book in school so this will be a re-read, which will improve their reading fluency and comprehension.

 

We are also sending home a small amount of math homework.  Typically flash cards or a fact sheet.  Just a few minutes of reading and math every night will make a significant difference in your child’s academic success.  Thank you for your support.

 

 

QSP magazine sales begin by the Junior Class Tuesday, September 14, if you would like to purchase a magazine subscription and are not contacted by a member of the Junior Class, please call the school at 641-562-2525.  Profits of the magazine sales are used for Prom and graduation expenses.
