This isn’t just a meal, it’s a movement for our Pirate family. Here’s what you need to know:
A big pot of delicious jambalaya cooked fresh by Mr. Dylan Roussel
A Bake Sale filled with homemade love
And of course, some “jammin’” music to bring our community together
💥 NEW: It’s now a class competition! 💥
Let’s see which class can bring in the most sales.
📅 Deadline: All orders are due Thursday, October 24.
