Treats, fruit needed for staff ‘First Fridays’ breakfast

Hey, families, show your appreciation for Garfield teachers and staff by signing up to donate food for the next “First Fridays” monthly breakfast, on Jan. 17.
If you can’t drop off 7:15-7:30 am on Friday, there are two options this month:
- Bring your donation to the Jan. 16 PTSA meeting in the GHS Library, at 6:30 pm.
- Email Jennifer Marquardt to coordinate a Thursday handoff, or to send her funds to shop/bake for you!
General information about First Fridays
The requested donations include baked treats, savory items and fruit. Especially appreciated: Options for vegan and gluten-free diets. Drop off items in Room 302 (3rd floor, above main entrance) 7:15-7:30 am on the day of the event, OR on Thursday at the home of an event volunteer listed in the signup.
- Please check the signup for specifics.
- Don’t drop off items without signing up!
- Questions? Contact info is on the signup page.
These events were restarted in fall 2023 by Special Education/Social Studies Teacher Brooke Kircher and Theater Teacher Natalie Gress, with an assist from Art Teacher Anita West, who “hosts” in her airy classroom. PTSA funding supplies coffee/tea, but most food is donated — a volunteer signup becomes available 10 days or so before the breakfast.
