Girl Scout troop 32149, fourth graders from Burton Valley Elementary School in Lafayette, teamed up with Early Intervention students ages 3-5 for a bake sale fundraiser on February 17. The bake sale included gluten and dairy free treats for kids with special diets and allergies. The girl scouts baked the day before with the kids from Early Intervention and adopted an elephant from the Oakland Zoo. The bake sale raised $192; $40 will go to the adopted elephant contributing to food, care, and educational programs. The remaining $152 will be used for support materials for Lafayette Early Intervention. The girl scouts will shop from a wish list provided by the Early Intervention teachers. Thank you to everyone that participated in the success of the bake sale, supporting two important causes.
