Hello!
Election Day, and therefore the bake sale, is rapidly approaching!! Do your civic duty and vote, but also please consider volunteering your time to help out at our bake sale. This is a major fundraiser for the PTA and it can only be successful with your help. The kids have off of school that day, so please consider having them join you and help sell! If you cannot come out to help, we would love donations of baked goods. You may drop them off at the school on Monday or Tuesday, or we can make other arrangements.
Please contact Caroline Cross at caroline.s.cross@gmail.com or by using the link below:
