PIZZA'S HERE!!!

Well, Wednesday actually. Your Coco Brooks orders can be picked up at the school between 2:50 and 6:00 pm on the 24th. We have 794 pizzas that have to be picked up on that day. They are frozen (obviously) but we have no facility to store that many frozen pizzas. So if you can't be there to pick them up yourself, please make alternative arrangements for the pickup.

Thanks for your order and your support of the school!
