A Seasonal Senior-Class Fund-Raiser

Wed, 11/06/2024 - 10:46

Pie, anyone? East Hampton High School's senior class is raising money for its banquet later this year by selling pies that will be available just in time for Thanksgiving.

"Wouldn't you like to make your life easier and have deliciously delectable pies all ready to serve?" the students ask on the school website, easthamptonschools.org, where an order form can be found on the Parent Square page. Options include pumpkin, apple, blueberry, peach, pecan, sweet potato, three berry, coconut custard, and others; each eight-inch pie costs $20. There are also pastries available, including baguettes, pumpkin sourdough, and croissants, for $7 each.

Orders must be placed and paid for by Nov. 15. They can be emailed to the senior class advisers at [email protected] and [email protected]. The senior class accepts cash and checks made out to "EHHS Student Association" with "Class of 2025" written in the memo line. The pickup date for pies is Tuesday, Nov. 26, between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. at the high school.
