Team Pot Luck Breakfast

 

Greetings Parents!

You are invited to a House A continental style "pot luck" team breakfast on Friday,  December 12th at 7:45am in room 241.  Students will be asked on December 1-3 to sign up to bring a breakfast item to share.  Please know that we do understand that it is difficult to obtain time off for such events, just know that you are welcome if it happens to fit your schedule.  If you would like to email me your preferred food item to share, please feel free to do so at any time.

We look forward to seeing you there!

 

 

Thank you in advance!

Stacey Endres
