I was asked to make something special for my daughter's elementary school's Teacher's Lounge this Friday. I am making Quick Pumpkin Spice Cake - but making them into mini muffin size w/cream cheese icing.

While talking with the person/teacher in charge, she asked if I would be interested in making something every Friday or as many of the Friday's I can.

I said sure. Now the teacher wants me to type up a letter so that she can ask the other staff members for special events.

Could you PLEASE look over the letter that I typed up and give me your opinion. If anything needs changing, please do so and then repost. This way I will keep everything straight.

Thank You for helping and by the way, please help ASAP. I need to give this letter to the teacher in charge by tomorrow at noon.

Thanks

!

I think it looks good. Just a couple of minor things I would change.

Also if you want to have a surprise for someone, please let me know. I will be more than happy to help. If you have a special recipe request, please make a note.

I took a few words out of the last paragraph.

Now, just another thought. The way it is worded, you are making a definite commitment to every Friday. Personally it sounds like a big commitment and some people might be disappointed if it doesn't happen. Also, it could get to be a bit much money wise, for potentially not much of a return.

You may have thought of all of that already and are ok with it. I just wanted to put it out there in case.:angel:

ThankYou for you help

I take my daughter to school everyday because we live out of district. I also volunteer for school on Friday - that is why I chose that day. The recipes I choose will be quick, easy, cheap, finger foods, etc.

There is only about 30 teachers/staff there anyway, small school. 2 classes per grade from pre-k to 5th grade plus a few helpers

Thanks for looking out for me. I do have another parent who owns a catering company - actully she is my ex-landlord. Her son is now going to the same school. She said that she would be able to help if I let her know a week or two ahead of time.

Thanks again for your help.
