The Lady Pirates earned a spot in the OBC Championship game as they defeated a very good Selmaville squad. Top scorers were Katee S. 27 pts., Kinnley E. 12 pts., Kenley C., 6 pts., and Kenzie M., with 2 pts.
The Lady Pirates will be taking on Field at Field for the OBC Tournament Championship this Thursday at 8:00.

Iuka Grade School will present a Veterans Day Program Thursday November 9 at 9:00 AM. The program will be held in front of the school by the flag pole (in case of inclement weather in the gym).
The program will feature the National Anthem and the Illinois State Song, the Armed Service Songs and America the Beautiful, performed by the Jr. High Band, and the Music Classes. The Salem American Legion will present the Service Flags and we will have a Veteran guest speaker.
The community is invited to attend. Please park in the east, south, or west parking areas. Please do not park or drive through the north parking lot by the flag pole in front of the school, as this is where the students will be standing to perform.


Pirate Nation: there is no school on Tuesday, November 7 and Friday, November 10. Our annual Veterans Day Program is Thursday, November 10 at 9:00 am. We hold this program, weather permitting, outside in front of the main door and gym door. In the event that you plan on being at school at that time, please do not park along the concrete curbing, but utilize one of our designated parking spaces.
Additionally, Dental Safari will be at school on Thursday. We have had many students sign up. Though we do our best to mindfully schedule things that don't conflict with other events, sometimes it's out of our control. We will accommodate the best we can as there will be some overlap with Dental Safari and the Veterans Day Program.

Pirate Nation: don't forget to set clocks back tonight!
