As we close out January, I think many of us are thankful that we did not get hit by last weekend's Winter Storm Jonas.  However, many are still remembering the amazing amount of snow we got last February!!  The PTA is no exception!!!  Instead, lets look forward to spring!!

Looking for a fast and easy way to make Easter Brunch?  What about Mother's Day?  First Communion or Confirmation?  Bridal or Baby Shower?  Don't forget Graduation parties!  Our spring fundraiser - Butter Braids and Sweet Crumbs Cookie Dough - is fast approaching, and it is the perfect way to help ease the stress of cooking for these special occasions.  The fundraiser will run February 22 to March 7.  The delivery of all products will be on 3/21/16 -  the week before Easter!  These items are PERFECT for all of your special spring occasions because the Butter Braids and Cookie Dough all come frozen.  As a result, they will keep in the freezer until your May or June occasions. They come with your choice of the following fillings:  cinnamon, blueberry  cream cheese, strawberry cream cheese, raspberry, apple, or Boston Creme.  There are also caramel rolls available (9 rolls per package).   They too come frozen.  All you have to do is bake!!!  The Sweet Crumbs Cookie Dough comes in 2.7lb boxes that are portioned into 40 individual cookies.  The flavors are:  Chunky Chocolate Chip, M&M, Oatmeal Raisin, Peanut Butter Cup, and White Chocolate Macadamia Nut.  The Butter Braid pastries and Caramel Rolls are $12 each and the Cookie Dough is $16/box.  Look for order forms to be coming home in backpacks after February vacation.  

Rehearsals for the Middle School Play, "Beauty and the Beast, Jr." continue to roll along.  The cast is doing an incredible job in learning a large number of complex dances and songs.  This is truly going to be an amazing show.  Mark your calendars for April 8 & 9!

Lastly, the Middle School Play team needs your help with a specific prop item!!  We are looking to borrow, buy, or accept donations of tin or metal coffee mugs.  We need approximately 60 of these mugs for a very complex, well choreographed, and hysterical dance scene.  If you have any that you would like to sell, donate, or let us borrow, please contact Tammy Bourque at ptjmbourque@yahoo.com.  Also, if you personally do not have these items, but know of where we could find them, please contact Tammy as well.

As always, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to contact the West Boylston Middle High School PTA at wbmhspta@wbschools.com.  You also can find our weekly blogs at http://www.wbschools.com/WBMHS/Department/10-PTA/Blog or like us on Facebook at West Boylston Middle/High School PTA.
