PINK OUT:  Tuesday, January 5th will be the annual “PinkOut” basketball game against Hempstead. We will be selling Pink Out t-shirts in support of our very own Ram, Mike Wulfekuhle. Mike is a veteran social studies teacher and former coach at Dubuque Senior High School and has been battling lung cancer. He and his family will be recognized at the basketball game the night of January 5th.

Please join us in supporting Mike by purchasing a Pink Out t-shirt (order forms can be found on the Senior High website or in the Activities Office). All proceeds will be donated to the American Cancer Society and or former “Pink Out” honorees still battling cancer.

Order forms and payments can be turned into the Activities Office. Let’s get our RAM FAM together and support Mr. Wulfekuhle in his battle against cancer!

Orders and payments can also be dropped off to Dennis “Deno” Noel. Payment must accompany the order form.*  http://senior.dbqschools.org/2015/12/get-your-pinkout-shirt/
