Baseball playoffs begin

Varsity baseball will play in Bi-district starting May 3. If you get a chance, I would highly recommend going to watch a game. These fighting Iola bulldogs have been working hard and doing great all season!

Boys basketball camp will be June 24, through June 26. For kindergarten through fifth grade the time will be 9 a.m. till noon and the cost is $50 per camper. Students entering sixth grade through ninth grade will be in camp from 1 p.m. till 5 p.m. and the cost is $60. Both camps will take place at the Iola High School Gym.
