Kendall Cookbook
The Kendall PTA is creating a 2020-2021 KENDALL COOKBOOK to replace our Fun Run Fundraiser. We will need family/student/staff’s most favorite recipes to fill it!
We are asking you to do 3 things:
1) Take the Kendall Cookbook Cover Survey
2) Purchase your recipe submission
3) Pre-order your Kendall Cookbook, and be entered into the $50 Amazon gift card raffle
1) We want your opinion on what the Kendall Cookbook cover will look like. Rank the options provided in the survey from MOST favorite to least, then have your student(s) do the same! The title/wording will later be customized to our group.
Take the Kendall Cookbook Cover Survey: https://bit.ly/SurveyKendallCookbook
2) $10 for each recipe submitted. Each student or staff member may enter up to 2 recipe submissions.
Paid submissions will receive an email to visit the www.typensave.com website with a provided login and password. With the provided credentials, you will be able to manually enter your recipe to the Kendall Cookbook. Recipe submission deadline is Friday, December 18th, but we suggest you start planning now!
Purchase your recipe submission(s): https://kendall.new.memberhub.store
3) Order a 2020-2021 Kendall Cookbook ($20) for your student(s), as a gift for a relative/friend and/or donate one to a Kendall Faculty/Staff Member. For every pre-ordered cookbook before December 18th, your name will be entered into a gift card raffle for a chance to win a $50 Amazon Gift Card. We will raffle one each week in the month of December.
Pre-order your 2020-2021 Kendall Cookbook(s): https://bit.ly/Pre-OrderKendallCookbook
The 2020-2021 Kendall Cookbook is must have memorabilia that celebrates the many cultures of our Kendall community! The cookbook will later be used in the school year for cooking challenges amongst our students and staff, if you choose.
Kendall Cookbooks will be distributed in February 2021.
PTA Membership Drive
The PTA is working hard to find ways to support our Kendall Students and Staff during this time at home. As always, we encourage families to join the PTA and support our efforts. Our membership is currently at about 15% and our goal is 100%. Help us get to 100%...your membership can make a difference! With the new 2020 online school registration, even lifelong members/supporters of the PTA have forgotten or not realized whether they have joined. Not sure if you are a member yet?

We Need Your Support!
