Senior Pancake Breakfast

Steph and DK making pancake and waffle batter.

All week we have been getting everything ready and organizing stuff for our pancake breakfast. The pancake breakfast was started years ago as a fundraiser the senior class does to help pay for their senior trip. It is a lot of work, but definitely worth it! We were at the school until 6 Friday night working on stuff. Then we got up early and was at the school at 7:45 am (super sad we didn't get to sleep in at all) so Stephanie could start mixing the batters for the pancakes and the waffles. At 8:30 our parent help and all of the senior class showed up to help cook, and get everything set up. It started at 9:30, and from then until 11:30, we served people pancakes and waffles, sausage, fruit, juice and coffee. We had over 100 people there, so it was a great turnout. Stephanie had to keep running downstairs to make more pancake and waffle batter. She made her pancake and waffle recipe 17 times over!
How well do you know your seniors placemat?

Throughout the morning we had different forms of entertainment. We had interactive placemats, cartoon corners, live music, videos made by the senior class, and of course, the auction.
The Serving Line

At 10:30 we had an auction, which is the biggest part of this fundraiser. Each senior had to be involved in a service we auctioned off. The services ranged from golf lessons, soccer camp, guitar lessons, babysitting, computer help, and slave labor. Stephanie decided to join in on the "fun" and she auctioned off one dessert a month from November until June. Her service was bought for 65 euros. Everything auctioned off and made a good price, so we definitely had success!

Thankfully everyone chipped in to help clean everything up, and we were done and ready to leave the school at one! We came home and totally crashed on the couch, to nap and watch some tv.
