It's Pretzel Time!
The 5th Grade is once again selling pretzels throughout the year in support of their 5th grade trip! They are offering the option of prepaying for pretzels to cover the entire year! This means no more last-minute scrambling for money before the bus arrives and no more waiting in line only to find that we've sold out! Pretzel sales will begin on Friday, September 27th, and run on select Fridays each month. A limited number of pretzels will be available for sale in the glass corridor before school for $2 each.
To sign up return the form below or click here! Pretzel days have been added to our google calendar.
If you have any questions - please email Michelle Draper: leahmichelledraper@gmail.com (Please be sure to put "Pretzels" in the subject line)
