Food Committee for Big Cat & State Qualifiers
WE ARE AT THE HALFWAY POINT FOR THE SEASON!!!!
The Food Committee would like to thank EVERY SINGLE PERSON who has helped out in every aspect so far! It truly takes a village to keep this many kids fed. As we have a crazy ( & chilly) weekend approaching, we thought letting everyone know the plan for food might be warranted.
Saturday, Big Cat in Golden, there will be chicken, black bean, or cheese quesadillas grilled up and served with help from the wonderful bari & alto saxophones & mellophones. The kids will be fed around 430pm by us and are encouraged to bring a lunch for the 1015-1115 break that they have. Please encourage them to also bring water bottles as the ones we have collected will not be available until we get to Golden.
Monday the 18th we will be providing deli style sandwiches and with help from flutes and tenor saxophone sections it will turn into a picnic lunch at Stutler around 4pm.
Here are links for both sign-ups.

Butter Braids in Full Swing
When selling remember these make a great and easy breakfast for all of the holidays November through New Year’s and easy breakfast and treats for ski weekends. For each Butter Braid and Yumbana Cookie Dough a student sells $5.20 goes directly into their own account and each Coda Coffee adds $6.40! This fundraiser is a great way for students to build up the balance in their accounts if they choose to participate!
