We are one week away from the biggest bake sale of the year! Thanks to everyone who has already signed up to help, but we need more bakers and more volunteers to sell.

We also need several amazing PTO members (if you are reading this, you are an amazing PTO member!) to coordinate the effort. In years past, eighth-grade parents have usually taken on the bake sales, and after the fantastic job the 8th-grade parents did for the car wash and bake sale in September we are hopeful that they will tackle this one and make it eclipse all others, but we welcome parents of all grades to consider stepping up to help.

If you can volunteer on the day of the sale and/or are able to donate baked goods, please follow this link to sign up.

If you are interested in  organizing/coordinating the effort (communicating with the food donors regarding packaging and drop-off, coordinating with the school about setting up tables, please email bigelowbulldog@gmail.com.
