Parents, We Need Your Help

Greetings Wonderful Parents,

We wanted to ask for your help with some of the upcoming

activities we are planning.

On Wednesday November 30th, we will be decorating gingerbread

men.

We are asking if a few parents could purchase the gingerbread

dough supplies, and create the dough patties for us to use.

1 batch makes about 10-12 ornaments depending on the size of your

cookie cutters. (We are making patties.) Therefore we are asking

for 4 batches to be made. One batch from 4 different volunteers.

Gingerbread Recipe

1 cup dry ground cinnamon

1 Tablespoon dry ground cloves

1 Tablespoon dry ground nutmeg (can omit if you don't have)

3/4 cup applesauce

2 Tablespoons elmers glue (any white glue, we have this at school

so please don’t buy any.)

Mix applesauce and elmers, then add dry ingredients.

Work in dough ball, roll out, sprinkle surface with a little cinnamon

to keep from sticking.

If original batch is too wet, add more dry cinnamon.

Can you make (gingerbread patties) maybe layer each patty on a

separate piece of wax paper - so that each child can then use the

cookie cutter?

If you are able to help us out please send us a note in your child’s

agenda or call the school.

Thanks so much!

Mrs. Wideen and Mrs. Belanger
