It’s a great, great day/weekend to be a Blackhawk!

Good luck to Cayden Slykhuis, Mason Moody, and Tryce Slykhuis at Regional wrestling this weekend!

The Lady Blackhawks would like to thank all the elementary students for the letters they wrote to show their support.  The letters were the first thing the girls pulled out of the baskets and they were excited to read them!  Rumor has it that they will be treasured for years!
