Dec. 19, Pancake Breakfast for Food, Fun, and Service

Friday, Dec. 19, 2014, 7:30am – 9:30am

This annual pancake breakfast brings our students and community together around food and supports Emerson’s community service initiative. This year the funds raised will go to support Emerson’s community service efforts throughout the year, and any student who brings in a winter coat, hat, or pair of gloves will receive $1.00 off their pancake breakfast. This winter apparel drive will support the Ann Arbor Area Community Fund’s “Warm the Children” program.

On Friday, December 19th, Emerson Middle School’s House A (one of three student “house” groups in the Middle School) has invited all Emerson students to their 6th Annual Pancake Breakfast, held from 7:30–9:30am. This event is optional, but we hope many students will partake in the pancakes! Parents are more than welcome to join in the breakfast as well.

Cost and Timing
The cost of the breakfast is $5.00 and can be billed to student accounts. Funds raised will go to support Emerson’s community service efforts throughout the year; students who bring in a winter coat, hat, or pair of gloves will receive $1.00 off their pancake breakfast. The pancake breakfast includes up to three pancakes, toppings, and a drink.

Middle school students can purchase pancakes upon their arrival at school.
Gr. 3-5 students will be allowed to leave their homeroom around 8:20-8:30am to purchase the breakfast and will eat in their homerooms.
For Gr. K – 2 students, a pancake cart will deliver breakfast to their classrooms that morning.

Ingredients and Allergy Info
GFS pancake mix (contains: wheat, milk, and eggs), GFS canned strawberry topping, GFS whipped topping, and Mrs. Butterworth syrup. Drinks will be either water or Country Time Lemonade.

For students with allergies, we will have separate breakfast stations which include a gluten-free pancake option (this option is not nut-free or egg-free), as well as a separate peanut-free and egg-free pancake option (this option does contain gluten).
