The Tineteriffe bake sale
It was a drizzly and cloudy Friday morning and we were all hyped up. We had everything prepared for the bake sale. There was a huge selection of treats baked by many volunteers and students. The tables in the halla were packed with tasty treats.. All the council members gathered together at half ten to begin setting up. We were all very excited.
The juniors and seniors were our first customers. They immediately began to descend upon the tasty treats. It was quite chaotic racing up and down to the till but we were able to handle the chaos.
John Paul and James managed our guess the sweets game, Jessica oversaw the till, Emma and Joe ran the 2 euro table and Brid and Maeve took care of the 2 for a 1 euro and one euro each table. Mrs Bourke helped with the sale of the tempting cakes, breads and tarts.
Then the first and second surged in to buy their delectable treats and they had a blast and the money was rolling in. The amount of sweets in the box station was crowded and was a big success.
Thankfully all the teachers helped sell the attractive goods. When the third and fourth burst through the doors we were selling like crazy. The tables were almost empty by the time they were finished. The sweet table had lots of guesses, some a bit wild. Everyone was hoping to win!
When the fifth and sixth came in we had everything out so they began to buy all around them. Cakes, buns and so much more. It was quite crazy but very enjoyable. There was nothing under the tables any more; it was empty and bare.
Finally some parents came. They bought a good bit of stuff and took them home with bright and happy faces. Despite all of the customers there was still a few things left.
The Tineteriffe bake sale was enjoyable for all and it was profitable too. We raised nine hundred and seventy euro to go towards benches for the school.
And not to forget students going home with happy stomachs. Especially John Paul who guessed the amount of sweets in the jar. It was one hundred and eighty seven. A special thank you to the student council and all of the teachers. And of course the students and parents for buying and baking all of our treats. It was a great success and we are overjoyed with the outcome of our bake sale.
