West Harrison CSD

Happy Monday, Hawkeye Families!

Due to the current health pandemic, the WIGSL board has decided that we cannot consciously continue with plans to have the 2020 softball season. We make this announcement with heavy hearts, as it was not an easy decision to make. We are heartbroken and frustrated over this situation but we must put the safety of our players and families above all else. Moving forward: June 1st the state of Iowa will announce if they will have summer sports. If they play softball, we will then post the town/coaches information on our website so you can have contacts to schedule non-affiliated WIGSL games at your own risk. If this happens we will only post information with your permission. If your town chooses to do this, please make sure you are contacting your insurance providers for more information before you schedule anything. Please stay safe. Thank-you for your patience throughout this process. Please relay this information to your players and coaches. Let us know if you have any other questions. -- Becky Thomas WIGSL President PO Box 7 Persia, IA 51563 712-592-3861 wigsleague@gmail.com https://sites.google.com/view/wigsl/home?authuser=1

“Light Up Iowa” at West Harrison CSD #lightupIA @ihsada https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44A9UwM3GV0

West Harrison community members- the "Light Up Iowa" event will take place from 8:00 to 8:25 p.m. at the football, baseball, and softball fields. The time represents the amount of days in which students have not been in school (1 minute for each day missed). After talking with the administration, it was decided that you may drive by or through the parking lot. Please do not stop and get out of your car. This will continue every Friday through the end of May. A YouTube video will be posted on the West Harrison website on Saturday.

Our small town is ever changing with the state of emergency our country is facing. Our local community is suffering in many ways but continues to support one another through various social distancing means. In an effort to show our schools and students that the State of Iowa recognizes their loss of activities, including sports, the Iowa High School Athletics Directors Association (IHSADA) is asking Iowa schools to participate in a “Light up Iowa” tribute. Each Friday night starting at 8, the football and baseball field lights will be seen from the sky as they are lit in honor of each day we have been out of school. We ask that community members keep social distancing practices and avoid gathering at the ball fields. If you follow social media posts and want to post your own image, please use the hashtag #lightupIA and include @ihsada.

The high school boy's and girl's track season has been officially canceled by the IHSAA and IGHSAU. There has been no decision on the baseball season.

This was fire hose training with the Jr. EMS on March 15th. Stay safe and healthy!
