Need Something to Wear?

Still need a t-shirt for the Waukee vs. Waukee Northwest football game? Check out this option, which was created by a high school student. The Foundation (with the help of its great sponsors!) made this idea a reality by providing funding. It is also giving each high school student and staff member a shirt free of cost. Everyone else can grab one for $10 at Home Sweet Cone, Hy-Vee, or when you get to the stadium on game night!

Media Registration:

All media outlets interested in covering the Northwest vs. Waukee game must contact Kayla Choate, Executive Director of Communications, at kchoate@waukeeschools.org to obtain a media pass. No unregistered media will be admitted.
