If you've ordered and not picked up, please do so today. Want to save time? Order in advance here: https://guadalupe-school.ejoinme.org/glassybaby2023

Want to earn volunteer hours?
- The Auction Committee is looking for individuals to sign up to procure/purchase desserts from a list of local bakers! Each $25+ dessert equals one volunteer hour.
