Where:

BCS North Campus (102 W. Portola Avenue, Los Altos)
Families can park at Egan parking lot and in the neighborhood

Who:

Everyone in the BCS Community and our families.  Siblings and other family members are welcome. Some grandparents sometimes attend, but please don't invite nieces or nephews, etc. or we may run out of space!  We might not have room for pets, so maybe bring Fido another time. Alums welcome.

What is the Cake Walk? 

If you are new this year, you might be wondering what the Cake Walk is at Fall Family Dinner.

If your student or his/her siblings has food allergies or dietary restrictions, you might be wondering if your child or his/her siblings will be able to participate in this fun game.  The answer is "yes"!

Families in the BCS community sign up to donate cakes to use as prizes for the cake walk.  Some are homemade, some are store bought, some are cupcakes, some are allergy-friendly/alternative cakes.  These are all prizes for winners of the cake walk. Kids walk around the circle and when the music stops...if they are standing on the winning number...they win a cake.

An allergy-friendly/alternative cake is a cake for winners with food allergies or dietary restrictions.  Allergy-friendly/alternative cakes are donated/made by BCS families and are edible or non-edible.  They might be a baked cake (with labels of the ingredients or notes indicating what common allergen it is free of), a "cake" that includes storebought foods or candy in the original packaging, or a "cake" made of toys, cool stuff, or a combo of cool stuff and edible wrapped items.  Some examples in the past are: money cake (a craft cake made of pennies and coins), a lego cake (all legos shaped into a cake shape), sidewalk chalk cake, candy cake (multiple layers of candy taped to a cake form), brownies that are dairy-free/egg-free (with labels included), gumball machine with gum, a cake shape made of twisted balloon animals.  It's whatever our community brings that year.

FYI....not everyone "wins" a cake.  But everyone has a *chance* at winning who plays the game.  And everyone can walk through the MPR before the game starts to admire the cakes.

Here's the sign up to bring a cake/alternate cake: (Check the Cake Sign Ups tab)
