Junior Class Fund Raising
PARKING SPOT BID IS CURRENTLY AT $50!  Come on Blackhawk Fans – front row spots on those nights when the Blackhawk gym is hot, but it’s so cold outside!!!!!! 
The junior class will be starting their annual fundraisers.

          2.  We will also have a silent auction for the 2 parking spots closest to the back doors.  You may start bidding today.  Bidders will be consistently notified of any changes.  Bidding will stop when we leave for Christmas Break – December 23rd at 11:00 am.
