Postville school participate in “Light Up Iowa” as athletic fields shine brightly

For 20 minutes on Friday night, Postville High School Administrative Assistant Teresa Berg was at Postville High School making sure the lights were on at the athletic fields.

Across the state of Iowa, schools joined in the second week of the “Light Up Iowa.” The Iowa High School Athletic Directors Association proposed the idea online inviting schools to participate in the voluntary program back on April 8 to light up their stadiums each Friday night at 8 p.m.

The first week saw 48 schools across the state participate, including Postville and many of our neighboring schools. This past Friday there were nearly twice as many schools join in participating in a variety of ways.

The football scoreboard posted 2020 honoring the senior class who will not be able to participate in many year-end activities this spring often associated with graduation. Every senior in the state of Iowa will be missing out on a lot this year and this is one way to brighten their spirits.
