Pie Baking
Calling all bakers!
While we are unable to bake pies for TASK at Toll Gate this year, we are offering families the opportunity to bake our famous sweet potato pies AT HOME to donate with the rest of our Thanksgiving meals! If you’d like to bake a pie (or pies!), pick up a white pie box (or boxes!) and printed recipe card (also included below) at the TASK table outside Toll Gate before or after school on Nov. 17, 18 or 19. Use Toll Gate’s sweet potato pie recipe to bake at home, either on your own or with TG friends on Zoom. We’re hosting two baking sessions that you can choose from: Sunday, November 21 at 4:00pm & Monday, November 22 at 6:30pm. Please check your PTO email for the Zoom links.
Drop off your baked pie(s) at the TASK table before or after school on Nov. 22 or 23. If you have any questions, please reach out to Suzanne Elliott at Suzanne_elliott@yahoo.com or 718-637-3774 or Valerie Buchert at valerie.buchert@outlook.com with any questions.
THANK YOU for your participation and support!
