Pumpkin Patch Cakewalk 2.0Back and better than ever – this year’s cakewalk has been upgraded to a
Treat Trot! Manageable portions. No melted icing. All the fun and none of
the fuss!

What’s the recipe for success?
  1. Sign up on the Pumpkin Patch volunteer registration.
  2. Bake the items in your very own kitchen, fill your grocery cart with family favorites, or swing by that new bakery in your neighborhood - it’s baker's choice!
  3. Bundle your baked goods in groups of a half dozen – cookies, cupcakes, donuts, muffins, petit fours – the possibilities are endless!
  4. Drop your confections off at TKS on Friday, October 4th in room 18 next to the library.
  5. Earn one volunteer hour for every dozen (two bundles) of treats that you bring.

Featured TeacherJesse Bartlett, 4th/5th Humanities
Interviewed by
Morgan Franklin (3rd Grade)
Mrs. Bartlett became a teacher because it was something she wanted to do since she was little. She started her career by teaching deaf children. Outside of work, she loves to sew dresses and gifts. Her favorite food is pepperoni pizza! If she wasn't a teacher, she would be a pilot because she loves a bird-eye view. This is Mrs. Bartlett's 16th year in education and 4th year at TKS!
