Time to dust off the cookie cutters, get out the sugar, flour and butter to make some holiday cookies. The JMS PTO is coordinating a Cookie Walk for the staff to show our appreciation for all they do for our kids on Monday, December 16. We need 240 dozen cookies, candies or other treats of all flavors, shapes and decorations.
If you do not have the time to bake, then get in touch with Daphne at Stop and Smell the Flours. She does an excellent job, provides parents with a 20% discount, and delivers them directly to the school! You can contact her via text at 515-897-9307 or email her at stopandsmelltheflours@gmail.com. Deadline to order is Friday, December 13.
We also hold a little raffle for the staff to get a chance to win gift cards to some of their favorite places!
