“With a record number of families needing help to keep their children in school, this year’s sale is vital,” organizers say. The crisps are sold frozen and ready to bake for $16 each. They can be purchased directly from the school by calling 376-5350. They also will be available on Nov. 19 at the school’s Island Market crisp and wreath sale.
