Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser November 15

Pancakes, Pancakes...Who doesn't love pancakes?
(Especially when they're made by someone else!)

The Lawrence Barnes Elementary School PTO invites you to its 2nd Annual Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser on Saturday, November 15th, 2008 from 8:30- 11:30 am in the school cafeteria. Suggested donation: $6 for adults and $4 for children 5 and above. The maximum price for families would be $15, and children under 5 are FREE.

The menu will feature local Vermont foods as much as possible, including scrumptious homemade pancakes, Vermont maple syrup, Cabot butter, bagels and cream cheese, Vermont apple cider, fresh brewed coffee and more.

Family entertainment will be provided on stage, featuring Jenni Johnson & Friends Nick Warner and Mark Van Gulden, as well as Jonathan Kissam, and Ted Looby. A silent auction will also be held, featuring high quality gently-used items, locally-made handicrafts, and products from Vermont companies.

Funds raised will support field trips, enrichment opportunities, neighborhood events, needed classroom supplies, family outreach efforts, and other special projects that enhance learning and build community at Lawrence Barnes.

For more information, please call Barb Prine at 864-5587 or paulandbarb [at] burlingtontelecom [dot] net. Hope to see you there!

SAVE THE DATE: Nov 15 Pancake Breakfast

A date has been chosen for the Second Annual Barnes Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser. Last year's pancake breakfast packed the Barnes gym with folks enjoying pancakes and live music, and raised over $1000.

Back to school BBQ!

Tuesday was a perfect day for Barnes' open house and back-to-school barbeque. Sponsored by the Barnes PTO, the free meal included local corn, watermelon, tomatoes, mesclun, cucumbers and onions from three farms in the Intervale: Diggers' Mirth, the Intervale Community Farm, and Full Moon Farm.
