So if you’ve been part of our school for a while, you’ve probably heard people talking about “Banket”.
No, not “Blanket”… “Banket” (Bahn-ket).
You usually hear this term brought up around the Fall Festival. You can find it in the bake shop and it usually sells out before you can say “Koffiebonen”. What is it you ask? Well Wikipedia defines it as “a sweet pastry that originated in Holland and is popular around the Christmas Season”. What do I call it? A pastry explosion of sweet almondy deliciousness! (All right, I know I used a few words there that may not technically be real words, but it’s that good).
Coming up in April, we all have a chance to learn how to make it! Our next auxiliary meeting is scheduled for Saturday, April 17 at Palm Lane Church. Paula Wigboldy (an alumni parent) and our own Shirley Van Dalen will be attempting to turn us into pastry chefs in a morning. While our Banket bakes, we’ll have a round table meeting where we can discuss the upcoming school year, plan our activities, and get to know one another better! So if you haven’t made it to any of the other meetings this year, you should come on out if you can! We really need and value everyone’s input!
There is a sign-up sheet in the office. Give them a call and ask them to sign you up! Don’t forget your apron!
