The last three years, North Iowa Schools have sponsored the “Pennies for Patients” Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Fund Drive.   We have set a lofty goal of raising $4000 for this year.  The fund raising this year will run to Friday, March 11th.  Each class will have a canister in which students may donate any pennies or other change to the project. This year the younger students will be provided a donation box to aid in their collecting.  The grades that raise the most funds will be rewarded with a pizza party and also if individual classes raise at least $100 then their class will be awarded a pennant.  Bronze pennants will be given for $100 raised, Silver pennants for $200, and Gold pennants for $300 per classroom.

 

Reminder:  There are still some students who have not turned in the student 9th period opt out form.  This form needs to be completed, signed by your parent, turned into the HS office if you wish to opt out of 9th hr. on Wednesdays and Fridays.  You can receive this form from your 9th period teacher/advisor or the HS office.

 

Also a reminder in regards to 9th period on Wednesdays and Fridays:  Any student with poor attendance, multiple tardies, unfulfilled detentions, and serious disciplinary violations will not be able to opt out of 9th period study hall those days.  If you have any questions, please talk to your teachers.
