As a reminder from Back to School night, the proceeds from the food sales during our OTA Movie Night on the Green go directly towards funding our October Joshua Tree Outdoor Ed. experience. To that end we are still in need of baked good items from the 7th grade class. The main blog post stated erroneously that only 5th grade would provide baked goods. All items should be portioned in advance for easy sale, preferably in plastic baggies/wrap. Thank you!
