Here’s what’s coming up this week on the KNOM Community Calendar:
As the community gets prepared for high school basketball season, so too is a planning committee for the Western Conference Tournament. The regional tournament cycles through various communities, and this year it’s Nome’s turn. Parents and volunteers are encouraged to attend at 6:00 p.m. at the middle school commons area. Just before that, a meeting for parents of the girls basketball teams will start at 5:15 p.m.
Also Monday night, seniors from Nome-Beltz will be out and about collecting donations for their food drive fundraiser. The funds will be used for a trip to DC that they missed out on due to COVID.
