We are excited to continue to partner with Kona Ice of Central Iowa but with the colder months of Iowa to be a part of piloting their cookie truck. This works the same way as the Kona Ice works just without the option to purchase the day of. We are including the QR code to this so that you may pre-pay for your students' cookies to be delivered during lunch on February 19th. Students who have pre-payed for the year with Kona will automatically get a 2 pack of Chocolate chip cookies! This partnership gives 20% of sales back to the school!

The smiles in the office said it all. Thank you for continuing to pour into the people who pour into our students every single day. We are so grateful for this incredible community! ❤️
