ATTENTION STUDENTS!

This year the North Iowa Cheerleaders have decided to try something new. To raise school spirit we are going to have a competition between classes. Each Monday we will pick the class that has shown the most spirit the week before. The winning class gets 200 points, 2nd 150 points, 3rd 100 points, and 4th 50 points. We will keep track of the each classes points and at the end of the season the class with the most points will win an Ice-cream social. Points will be given according to the participation and enthusiasm of each class during the week. This includes all Fall sports. Also we will be choosing a Fan of the Week. The Fan of the Week will be the single person to show the most school spirit during that week. They will win an extra 50 points for their class and will receive a Spirit award! Get ready to show your school spirit! Go Bison!

Thanks, The North Iowa Cheerleaders.
