October 10

The community action exploratory is hosting a Bake Sale on Tuesday October 14th and Thursday October 16th. In the main foyer. It is a fundraiser with half the money going to a women’s shelter and half going to the school. We will be selling treats, cookies, candies, cupcakes and many more treats all nut free for 50 cents to 3 dollars. It is run by div 9 div 10 and div 13 with the help of Ms. Farrell. Don’t get a cavity on such sweet deals 😉
