Peg,
Thanks for the nice press on our last bake sale! The students and parents have worked very hard in their fund-raising endeavors. We couldn’t have done as well as we have without the support of a good community.
The students going to Spain (Dana Peters, Anna Slomka, Rebecca Orozco, Blaze Mollhagen, Kyle West, Brett Rathbun and Tyler Bailey, along with their sponsor, Senora Bonnie Orozco) will depart from Kansas City on July 14th. They will be visiting several interesting cities including Seville, Madrid and Barcelona. Many wonderful historical sites are also on their itinerary. They hope to attend a bull fight and take ‘flamenco’ dancing lessons (can you imagine T-Bailey doing that??) They will return to the states on July 26th.
Anyway, they are certainly a hard-working group of kids!! I think the peanut brittle making (400 pounds in all) and the enchilada assembly line (over 70 dozen) have to top the list for our hardest and most successful fund-raising events.
Once again, thanks for your kind words of support.

They only made 400 pounds of peanut brittle? I thought I bought that much. It was terrific and I’m picky about peanut brittle. These kids have worked hard to raise enough money for their trip. The community has been very supportive and without it such trips for our students wouldn’t be possible. A little donation here and there makes a difference so keep that in mind when you see students out selling tickets, washing cars, and peddling their products. We wish them well on their trip. It will be an unforgettable experience for all of them…particularly Bonnie who gets to chaperone them.
