Good evening Baker Families! Please see the flyer for tomorrow's modified lunch schedule. If you have students in multiple grade levels, be sure to let the staff members know when you check in so we can pull each student to join you for lunch at the same time. Be sure to bring cash or check for meal payment tomorrow. There won't be an option to pay online or use a card for payment during the scheduled lunch times. We can hardly wait to have you join us!
"Day 3 of Coin Wars and we've had quite an upheaval of the leaderboard! After two days of vicious sabotage, 2nd grade has been knocked off the leaderboard! Kindergarten came out on top today! Congratulations to "Yoshi" and a daily prize will be distributed in class. 5th grade has climbed up to 3rd place and 1st grade continues to hang around the top 3, but just shy of that top spot! Tomorrow, plan for even more fun! All our challengers have hit an item box and bananas have been thrown into the challenge. On Thursday, November 16, all online donations will be counted as SABOTAGE only! We have reached $2728 of our $7000 goal. Choose who to sabotage tomorrow at https://broncobunchpto.membershiptoolkit.com/form/m/263232 Good luck to all teams!"
