Festive Marketplace | Unique gifts 

Festive Marketplace | Calling all bakers! 

Festive Marketplace is just around the corner! One of the many highlights is our Festive Bake Sale, filled with delicious treats ranging from cakes, cookies and squares to vegan and gluten-free delights.

We’re grateful for homemade and store-bought baked goods (and so are the students and attendees). 

Some helpful baked goods guidelines: 

• Please ensure all items are nut-free.

• Please individually wrap items, wherever possible. If unable to, no problem as we’ll take care of it on our end. 

• Gluten-free and dairy-free options are much appreciated. 

• No time to bake? Store-bought items are always welcome. 

Please complete this form to let the Bake Sale Committee know what you’re planning to bring. 

All baked goods are to be dropped off at the school. See below for drop-off times and locations. And no need to park, as volunteers will be on hand to collect baked goods directly from cars. 

Baked goods drop off: 

Thursday, Dec. 12, 7:30 to 9 a.m., and 3 to 4 p.m.

Prep: Admission and Forest Hill entrances

Upper School: Clock Tower entrance

Friday, Dec. 13, 7:30 to 9 a.m. 

Prep: Admission and Forest Hill entrances

Upper School: Clock Tower entrance

We also need volunteers at the Festive Bake Sale. If you’d like to help out, please sign up here and choose your shift(s).
