Baker’s Dozen Plus 3

By now I am sure everyone has had an opportunity to sell a few apples.  Tomorrrow, in school, we will be figuring out how many 1/2 pecks are in a bushel and thus how many bushels we will need to purchase to fulfill our obligations of sales.  We will also calculate how much profit will be realized by this fundraiser. 

Our schedule for the day is as follows:

• leave school at 9:30 a.m.
• arrive at Thatcher Brook Primary School around 9:50 a.m. to investigate their new playground
• leave Thatcher Brook Primary School around 10:20 a.m. heading to Adam’s Apple
• Stop enroute at the Williston rest area for a bathroom break
• arrive Adam’s Apple by 11:00 a.m. 
• lunch when we get there
• tour and picking apples beginning at 11:30 a.m.
• leave the orchard no later than 1:30 p.m. to get back to school by bus time

Parents who have contacted me about volunteering are:  Suzie Lowe, Elizabeth Cadwell, Heather Bombard, Melinda (Mallie’s grandy), Amy Rochford, and Beth Libby.  Heather has offered to drive her truck for transporting the apples.  She also has room for another couple of parents to drive with her.  I will leave it up to all of you to connect with one another.  As you can see by the above schedule, parents do not have to leave with the bus, but meet us at the orchard by 11:00. 

Thanks to the sellers of apples and the volunteer pickers and sorters.  The children are really excited!
