There was also a flyer to purchase a cookie decorating kit that was sent home on Thursday. Families can purchase a cookie decorating kit to have fun together in the kitchen and then have a delicious treat to show for your work. This is a quick fundraiser and those order forms are due this Friday. Cookie decorating kits can be picked up at school on May 10th or 11th.
