Bread Day

Bread Day Assembly
Tuesday, November 26, 2024 • 1:30 - 3:00 p.m.

We are looking forward to Bread Day this year! This is a community event meant for students to share with their partners. While families are welcome to attend, there is no expectation that they will. Bread Day is a simple celebration of this culturally prominent and commonly shared food. Families are invited to bake or contribute breads from their family’s heritage. Learn more about Bread Day, and other GUS traditions here.

Volunteer on Bread Day

Come help to cut bread and organize the bread table! We are looking for a handful of parent volunteers to help out on Bread Day. Please reach out to Lindsay Calef with any questions!

BAKING FOR BREAD DAY

We are looking forward to Bread Day. Below are some guidelines so we can all be compliant with the updated GUS Nut Policy (see page 38 of the Parent Student Handbook), since all items will be shared.

  1. All items must be accompanied by an ingredient list that is firmly attached. Remember to also include ingredient lists for anything going into the baked item that’s not a single ingredient like flour, yeast, or eggs. For example, Earth Balance buttery spread (Palm Fruit, Canola, Soybean, Flax, Olive Oil, Filtered Water, Salt, Natural Flavor…….).

  2. All ingredients must be checked by the school nurse before sharing.

    • Early Check is preferred. If possible, please email the ingredient list this week with the name of your baked item to jbugeau-heartt@gus.org. You may type out the list or send a close-up picture of the ingredient label.

    • If you cannot share the ingredients ahead of time, please bring the full ingredient list in with the baked goods at drop off.

  3. Items cannot be served if there are nuts or nut products on the ingredient list. This includes both peanuts and tree nuts, and nut products such as nut butters, nut extract, nut flours, nut oils, nut-based milks, etc. Your kitchen does not have to be a “nut-free facility” to participate in baking for Bread Day. Reasonable care with clean utensils, surfaces and baking equipment is adequate.

  4. Bread Dropoff Time: Monday November 25, 2:30 – 4:00 p.m. or Tuesday November 26, 8:00 – 9:00 a.m.

Thank you in advance for contributing to a fun and safe Bread Day!
