WMMMS Staff Holiday Brunch & Cookies Exchange- Friday, 12/20/2024! 🎄✨

It’s time to spread some holiday cheer with our Annual Staff Holiday Brunch at WMMMS! Let’s make this celebration extra special by showering our incredible teachers and staff with warmth, gratitude, and a delicious buffet of brunch favorites and a magical cookies exchange. There’s no better way to kick off the festive season than with good food, amazing treats and great company on a crisp December morning!

This year’s brunch will be held on Friday, December 20th, 2024, and we’re kindly asking for donations of brunch items—think breakfast casseroles, pastries, fruit, drinks, baked goods, and more! We’d also love for staff to leave with a little holiday treat, so we are also welcoming cookies of any kind and flavor!.

On December 20, volunteers with carts will be stationed at the morning carpool from 7:45-8:15 a.m. to collect your contributions. Can’t drop off then? No worries! Donations are welcome until 9:30 a.m., as we’ll begin serving at 10:15 a.m.  If your dish or cookies are gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, or nut-free, please label it clearly. To help simplify cleanup, we kindly ask that you drop off items in containers you don’t need back. If you do need them returned, please pick them up by 2:15 p.m. the same day.

We’re also looking for volunteers to help with collecting, organizing, and replenishing food throughout the brunch. Even an hour of your time would make a big difference!

Please review the available slots below and sign up to help us make this event memorable. Thank you for helping us show our amazing staff how much they’re appreciated. Wishing you all a joyful, bright, and safe Holiday Season! 🌟🎁
