Bake Sale: Teacher or parent needed for Bake Sale monitor, pickup containers in Room 144

Nice job with the bake sale again:
We must have an adult during Mod 5 & 7 lunch as a bake sale monitor, ask your teachers or parents to contact Mr. Koehler(swkoehler@philasd.org) if they are interested.  Also the bake sale staffing per lunch mod must be planned and defined ahead of time to ensure the proper number of students in the school store per lunch mod.  No student should be missing class for a bake sale.

Also please pickup your bake sale containers in Room 144.

thanks!
