Bakers, creators, delectable delighters,

Ready to get your bake on? The Cole Valley Fair is September 28th. It brings out the best in our neighborhood - friends, community, alumni - all enjoying one another, usually beautiful weather, and celebrating our school. 

Each year Grattan hosts a Sweet Shack and Gear Sale. Treats for our neighbors help treat Grattan by raising important funds and awareness for the school. Past years have helped raise over $5,000! 

We’re looking for families to bake sweet and savory treats!

Here’s how to help the bake sale be a HUGE success:

• Sign up below for a dozen sweet or savory treats to bring.

• Bake your items! (No nuts!)

• Package each one individually and label ingredients (a must for health requirements). Note: clear packaging or with a view to the baked goods do best so that people can see the awesomeness they’re getting! You can label individually or bring a printed list that we can put with the items.
• Drop off items the morning of the fair between 9-10am at the booth. Or, if no need for refrigeration, drop at school the Friday before and leave with a note in the teacher’s lounge. 
  
  

We’ve learned a lot over the years. Some key takeaways:

• Savory breakfast items like scones and quiches do amazing in the morning! As do muffins and bread slices!

• Creativity from unusual flavor combinations to fun decorations get people excited! 

• The clearer the better - the more someone can see your treats, the more they want them!

No matter what, people appreciate the love and dedication of families making things from their heart.

Thank you for the donations and help! We can’t wait to see you there! 

with gratitude,

Jaime-Alexis (TK + 4th parent) and Monika (1st grade parent)

PS - question about what to bake - just ask!
