Cake Walks

Roch students love cake walks! Decorating the cakes at home is a wonderful family activity and the children are always proud to show off the cakes they made and see the creativity in the other cakes.

This year there will be three cake walks and a notice will go home one to two weeks before each event. Tickets can then be purchased for 25 cents each or ten for $2.00 from your child’s teacher. Proceeds go the Education Foundation and a twin beacon school in the Ottawa area.

Cake walks will be held:

Thursday, December 15th, 2011 – Holiday/Winter Theme
Tuesday, February 14th, 2011 – Valentine’s Theme
Thursday, April 26th, 2011 – Spring / Earth Day

How a cake walk works:

• Parents, grandparents, or guardians make nut-free cakes, cupcakes, tarts, squares, etc.
• All baked items are dropped off at school on the morning of the event.
• Cakes are displayed in the library. Each class has an opportunity to view the cakes.
• Students place their pre-purchased tickets into bags in front of the cakes they wish to win.
• Draws take place and winners are notified.
• The number of winners depends on the number of cakes donated.
• In order to maximize the number of winners, each family can win one cake only.

The following are some important guidelines:

1. All items must be nut-free.
2. List all ingredients where they can be seen.
3. Cakes cannot go on the bus to or from school.
4. Cakes can be dropped off at the school anytime after 7:30am.
5. Cakes can be picked up after school until 4:00pm.
