Iuka CCSD 7

Pirate Nation: If you were attending one of our softball or baseball games, the cost for a Slim Jim is $1.00. We had a nice person fill in for our regular person who did not know they were $1.00 and charged 25 cents for them at a recent game. The school makes roughly 33 cents off of the sale of a Slim Jim. We are sorry for the confusion and we are thankful we had someone willing to fill in to work in the concession stand. Thank you for support Pirate activities and athletics!
