Parents are reminded that we need help to assemble the pizzas on Saturday, March 10 from 9am to 1pm at GFK School. Everyone is welcome! Just a reminder to all sellers: please come by the school between 12 and 1 to pick up the pizzas you sold so that you can deliver them ASAP. This is for the Literacy Fundraiser. Our last pizza making day turned out to be a lot of fun for the School Community Council members, staff, and parents who attended. So please make plans to help us out on March 10!
