Pancake Breakfast Raises Money for Scholarships

Published by admin under Central, News, Achievements

Thanks to everyone who came out and enjoyed some pancakes at this year’s Pancake Breakfast fundraiser. The event raised over $5,200 for HHSTA’s scholarship fund for students considering college majors in education or a vocational field. Many thanks also to our “pancake queen” Annette DeAngelis, HHSTA Social Chair, who organizes the even for us. This year we had over 50 faculty and staff take part in the event.

Here are some highlights from the event shared by Annette:

  •  Jim Kupres bought 65 tickets and treated his entire Cross Country team!
  • Early birds: Marge McMahon, who has volunteered the early shift every year since I’ve known her, actually rearranged family plans to be here at 6am. Myles Laffey also does the early shift. When I walked in at 6:30am, Paul Woods was already fast at work flipping.
  • So many people volunteered with their children:  Renee Sandoval, Becky Wilcox, Aerial Diaz, Valerie Ruth. Thanks to Lilly Barcelona for taking several kids to the parade!
  • Chris Hicks ran to the Jewel before her shift because we were out of singles.
  • Abbey Green offered to stay the entire day.
  • Barry Smith and Liz Suchomel, Jim McGuire and Cindy Rodkin, made some wonderful and interesting decorative type of pancakes.
  • Gia M. jumped in and started a new process for organizing trays.
  • Barb Plantz had things set up for me when I walked in
  •  We couldn’t pull Beth Bannon away from the grill!  We kept trying to relieve her but she was having too much fun!

Thanks again to everyone in the Association and in the community for making this event such a success.
