To those who popped popcorn, plopped sour cream, brewed the tiniest cups of espresso... We saw you! To those who transformed an entire hallway into the most vibrant round-the-world display of cultures ever... We definitely saw you! To those corralling kids at cake walk, laser tag, JUMP and face painting, Saw ya! Did you sell T-shirts, yearbooks, dining cards or auction silently? We saw you, too! Are you a cake baker extraordinaire or a prop builder? Yep, we saw you! Broom wielders, ladder schleppers, photographers, promoters, planning committee members... none of it was unseen or unfelt.

Sweet! Come one, come all, to the great cake drop-off tomorrow, Friday during morning and afternoon car rider lines! We'll have volunteers onsite in the top and bottom lots to make things as easy as possible. This one Fall Fest activity alone a major fundraiser for the school, and we need as many cakes, treats, donuts and such as we can get! Don't hold back! Please be mindful not to delay the main drop-off area, as car rider line is tough enough without our added fun! If you're bringing 20 cakes (and we hope you are), you'll want to park and walk in. As you approach the drive, if you safely can do so, hand off your item(s) to the volunteer in the median. As you're baking tonight, it's helpful if you will jot down a list of ingredients for homemade goodies - especially when considering allergens such as peanuts. While our gif is silly, this is a serious request; we care deeply about keeping you safe!
