| Pies from Riley's 2015 Thanksgiving event. |
Dear Parents,
It is that time once again for our Thanksgiving cooking event.
On Tuesday, November 22nd from 10:15-11:45 the children will be making pies with their reflections group, for the Community Thanksgiving Dinner provided by St. Peter's Episcopal Church, in Rockland. Last year St. Peter's served nearly 300 people who came to the church for their Thanksgiving meal, and delivered over 100 meals to homes. St. Peter's is thrilled to have Riley's involvement this year. Thank you for your contributions to purchase ingredients, and continuing the Riley tradition of cooking for the community.
If you would like to help with pie baking on Tuesday, please contact the office or your child's reflections leader. Also n
eeded: peelers, cutting boards, and paring knives! Please label your implements.
Please send along $4 to your child's Reflections teacher.
Thank you so much for supporting our efforts!
