Ordering for the year is $10 and must be paid in full before the first pretzel day. If you would like to order monthly, the cost is $1. You can also sponsor a class. This means you would pay for the class for that month and Home and School will reach out with the cost.
First Pretzel Day is Wednesday September 20th. Payment is due by Friday September 15th.
