Did you get some practice making soup over our extended snow day break? Sign up to support the SOUPer BOWL Friday February 13th! The staff will be served a variety of soups, salads, and desserts.
We are asking for donations of soup, fruit, desserts, and rolls. The PTA will supply the salads and drinks.
The soup (or chili) should be delivered HOT in a crock pot to the school on the day of the event during morning student drop-off. Rolls, fruit and desserts can be dropped off at that same time or Thursday, Feb 12th to the front office. Crock Pots will be rinsed at the end of the event and ready for pick-up in the front office on Friday afternoon. Please label your crock pots and accessories!
