Update- Thursday Breakfast

Ok everyone... here are more details about the teacher breakfast on Thursday morning (I discussed this with the girls at practice tonight):

Each squad will be responsible for an item. Each person in the squad needs to bring 2-3 dozen of their assigned item so that we have enough to feed all the teachers and staff. Make sure you have discussed specifics with your social officer.
  • Danyelle's Dots -- Burritos (I will let you know tomorrow how much $$ each person will owe for these)
  • Mariah's M & M's -- Juices (2-3 large containers each)
  • Rachel's Red Hots -- Pastries/Muffins
  • Chloe's Cotton Candy -- Fruit/Yogurt
I will bring all the plates/napkins/cutlery/cups.

Be in the KHS cafeteria with your item @ 7:30 am. Come dressed and ready. We will set up, serve breakfast, perform the kick routine, clean up, and then go home. You should be able to leave by 9:00 am.

Thank you!!
