With winter break fast approaching and the cold weather making everyone long for tasty treats to keep them warm and cozy, there was no better time for the King’s Academy parents to organize their annual Winter Holiday Bake Sale. King’s parents from every grade got into the giving spirit by baking, making and donating an array of delicious sweet and savory goodies for the school community to feast on last Sunday.

The Parent Council’s events committee led the organization of the event, reaching out to all King’s parents for support in either providing food or helping out at the bake sale itself. Traditionally the biggest and most anticipated bake sale of the year, the Parents’ Winter Holiday Bake Sale raises funds for the school’s Student Life Fund.

The Student Life Fund ensures that students on financial aid have access to the same opportunities available to other students, guaranteeing an equal educational experience for all King’s students. The fund covers, among other things, the cost of sitting for external examinations like the SAT, university application fees and various extra-curricular activities.

This year’s bake sale raised over 2,500 JD (US $3,524). A huge thank you goes out to all parents, Parent Council members, and the school community at large for making the event a success.
