Today Class Color Day Hey West Seattle! The Game of the Week survey was started up Friday, 10/16 at 11 pm. Just go to www.kirotv.com/hsfootball! Hi, my name is Nick Trost and I am a web content editor here at kirotv.com. I chose your school to participate in our Game of the Week competition on KIROtv.com because I know your school has school spirit! The competition works like this: 3 Schools will go head to head once a week on kirotv.com and the winner will have KIRO 7 attend their game. The winning match up’s home team will also get traffic reporter Jenni Hogan to come and “Crash The Campus!” (Check out the website to see what happens!) As if that wasn’t enough, the highlights of the winning game will be put on the 11 p.m. newscast as well as re-aired Saturday morning! Thus, the match up that wins the survey will get considerable attention and publicity. The school with the most votes wins-it is as simple as that! All of the content we produce will be available for your school’s homepage to link to and will exist permanently in our system. Please encourage your staff, students, friends and parents to vote now!
