Senior Recognition (Rory & Alyssa) and Military Appreciation Night
Gooooo Big BLUE!


Just snuck a peak and the school store is still open if anyone needs to jump on quickly! :)
I'm guessing they got busy and will shut it down after today, but that gives you time for one last order!
All proceeds go to junior class, and even with that these are amazingly priced trojan items you will find!
OK here you go: https://stores.inksoft.com/parkstonjunior
