Yesterday was the first of our 3 bake sales for our Great American Bake Sale to raise money for Share Our Strength - all of the money we raised goes to help fight childhood hunger in America. Students were involved from the start to the finish - they made signs…,

helped to make treats…

and helped at our event…

Day 1 was at our school’s baseball diamond for each of 3 games. Attendance was fair, but the generosity of those who were there blew us away. The grand total, you may wonder? $349.20!!!!! Our team has a $500 goal, but we still have two bake sales to go! We are thrilled to have made it over half way towards our goal in one day!

If you are not local but would like to support our efforts, you may make an online donation here.
