Northwestern Lehigh Middle School kicked off its annual Gertrude Hawk Fundraiser on Feb. 6.

The school will profit 50 percent of all sales.

The goal is to make $6,000. All proceeds will benefit student activities, such as field trips, assemblies, and team items and activities.

Order online through Gertrude Hawk and have the items shipped directly to your home.

Delivery will be during the week of March 11, just in time for Easter.

Each participating student will be entered into a drawing for raffle prizes ranging from Target gift cards to a Gertrude Hawk chocolate basket.
