This year we are having a sucker sale!!! It ends today. The flavors that we have this year are Raspberry Lemon, Mountain Berry, Green Apple, Black Cherry, Tangerine, Strawberries and Cream, Watermelon, and Strawberry Kiwi. We even have sour flavors this year including Green Apple and Strawberry Kiwi!!! They also come in a cool shape like lips. If you want buy some suckers they will be available during lunch and after school.  Don’t forget, the suckers are going fast so you better hurry!!!
