Lunch today is:  Walking taco, baked beans, mixed fruit.

 

Congratulations  to our coaches and student athletes for their outstanding conduct and sportsmanship during activities in the 2010-2011 school year. North Iowa has been recognized by the Iowa High School Athletic Association for their good sportsmanship.  We did not have any students or coaches removed by officials from an activity during last school year. Just over half of the schools in the state had at least one player or coach ejected from an activity for poor sportsmanship.---- Coaches and student athletes ~ Thanks for the positive representation of yourself, your family, our school and communities. GO BLUE.
