The MPA Parent’s Association invites you to celebrate Season to Share – 2014. The Season to Share is an opportunity to celebrate and share some of the cultural holidays represented during this time of year. We will enjoy winter-themed decorations in the middle school hallway and cafeteria including vignettes for the different holidays being celebrated during the Season to Share.
Steve Boese and the cafeteria staff will offer different desserts celebrating the traditions of some of these holidays between Thanksgiving and Winter Break for students on the food plan. The dates for these special desserts are December 3, 5, 10, 12 and 17. Other students are welcome to partake in these festivities as well by purchasing lunch on those days for $7.00.
And, new this is year is a special community building event. On Thursday, December 18 from 1:00 -3:15 pm, the Season to Share Committee needs volunteers to help decorate almost 500 cookies. The cookies will be frosted in the Parent Association Room (just off the cafeteria) and enjoyed by the students on Friday, December 19 during lunch. Please join us for this community-building event
Additionally, Food will be collected at the entrances and in the cafeteria for Little Kitchen Food Shelf in Minneapolis through December 19.
And, finally, on Friday, December 19, all community members (students and staff) will be invited to bring treats to share or enjoy a frosted cookie during lunch with parents managing the tables (food allergies will be addressed with some special, appropriately labeled treats).
To volunteer for any of these activities or if you have any questions, please email Maria Reamer at mariareamer@msn.com.
We hope that all will see the value and the joy of the Season to Share.
