Pancake Breakfast on Dec. 22

Food, Fun, and Service to Our Community

Thursday, Dec. 22, 2016, 7:30am – 9:00am

On Thursday, December 22, Emerson Middle School’s NJHS and volunteers have invited all Emerson students to the 7th Annual Pancake Breakfast, held from 7:30am–9:00am. 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.

This annual pancake breakfast brings our students and community together 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 the Toasty Toes Project coordinated by current 5th grader Parini Rao and alum Anvit Rao. Any student who brings in one or more pairs of new socks for the Toasty Toes Project will receive $1.00 off the pancake breakfast.

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, and any student who brings in one or more pairs of new socks will receive $1.00 off the 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.
  • 3rd–5th grade students will be allowed to leave their homeroom around 8:20-8:30am to purchase the breakfast and will eat in their homerooms.
  • K–2nd grade students will have a pancake breakfast cart delivered 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.
