Buttery Goodness

Two posts in one day?  Shocking, I know.  I didn’t want this post to get buried in the excitement of the previous one and it deserves a spot all it’s own!  We (that means you) are selling Butterbraids again this spring!  Family, friends, coworkers and neighbors who supported us in the fall will be very excited to have a chance to order again!  Just in time for Easter, make sure that everyone orders enough to restock their freezer.  Can’t you just taste them now?  That wonderful, buttery crust… the mouth-watering filling… the tongue dazzling toppings????  I am craving one right now just thinking about it!  Perfect for a special breakfast treat, or scrumptious after dinner dessert.  Enjoy them with your family and friends (or by yourself, I won’t tell!)  Butterbraids come in 8 delicious varieties: Apple, Bavarian Cream, Blueberry Cream Cheese, Cherry, Cinnamon, Cream Cheese, Raspberry, and Strawberry Cream Cheese.

Look for order forms to come home THIS WEEK.  The fundraiser will run from February 25 until March 15.  The absolute deadline for returning your order forms is March 15 (you have been warned).  The orders will be delivered prior to spring break.  The auxiliary will send you periodic reminders to turn them in by March 15.  Funds raised go towards the Fall Festival budget for 2010.

Christian Education Week

What a fantastic time we all had last week!  It started off on Tuesday with Pastor’s Breakfast – there were 25 pastors from our families churches that came to visit our campus and see their kids.  What a wonderful turnout!  The pastors feasted on a wonderful breakfast hosted in the preschool room – Thank you Mrs. Den Bleyker for uprooting your class for the morning!  I’ll share pictures of this event when I get them. 

Wednesday our school hosted Grandparents/Grandfriends Day.  This was such a fun morning! I heard there were approximately 120 people who came out for this event!  I know we even had some grandparents travel from other states to visit their grandkids.  The kids put on a special program, just for our visitors, and again there was food.  A lot of our festivities seem to have that common theme, don’t they? 

Thursday evening we were treated to a delicious meal at the Open House!  Grilled chicken, red beans and rice, salad, apple corn bread -  yummy!  Makes me hungry just thinking about that apple corn bread.  I have been promised the recipe for it, so when I get it, you can bet I’ll post it!  It just a fantastic evening of food and fellowship.  I think we served close to 200 people that night, and had so much left over, we had enough to share with a local homeless kitchen the next day.  God is Good!  As Ms. VP said in the wildcat weekly, we also had 10 new families come to our open house festivities, just to find out more about our school! 

Thank you to everyone who helped to make these events a success!!!  When I get more pictures added from the other events, I’ll let you know!
