DESCRIPTION:&ldquo\;What&rsquo\;s the fun of an outdoor stroll...&rdquo\;
  Bumble Bee students at Harkness House for Children recently asked their
  teachers\, &ldquo\;...when we can&rsquo\;t all go together as a class?&
 rdquo\;\nDespite their relatively young ages--16 months to age two--the 
 toddlers at this premier\, early childhood center\, actually made a conv
 incing argument. With 10 students in their Bumble Bee class\, the school
 &rsquo\;s only source of transportation--a four-seat stroller--meant tha
 t the class would need to be separated when venturing out from its home 
 at the Winnetka Community House.\nAnd that idea didn&rsquo\;t make for\,
  well\, happy campers.\nTaking a page from schoolmasters of days past\, 
 Harkness House teachers offered a timeless\, school tradition: a bake sa
 le. Gathering baking ingredients from its grocery partner\, The Grand Fo
 od Center\, Harkness teachers will present a Summer Bake Sale from 4-6 p
 .m. on Thursday\, June 21\, at the Winnetka Community House\, 630 Lincol
 n Ave.\, Winnetka. The proceeds will go directly to the purchase of a ne
 w\, six-seat stroller.\n"We invite the entire Winnetka community to samp
 le our tasty\, summer time treats\," says Harkness fundraising chairpers
 on Jaimie Walnes. "we'll have homemade cupcakes\, brownies\, pies\, whol
 e cakes and cookies for sale."\nTo sweeten the event even more\, The Gra
 nd Food Center will also provide the Grand Prize: a drawing for a $100 G
 ift Card.\n&ldquo\;We&rsquo\;re incredibly pleased that The Grand has ag
 reed to help us again in our fundraising efforts\,&rdquo\; says Kristi P
 ettice\, Harkness House Assistant Director (and Bumble Bee teacher) who 
 spearheaded the bake sale idea.\nAccording to Pettice\, the early childh
 ood center&rsquo\;s not-for-profit status means that it must raise funds
  on its own for equipment. The school recently purchased a new computer 
 and carpeting with proceeds from a Grand Food Center-sponsored fundraise
 r earlier this spring and an alumni donation.\n&ldquo\;While The Grand h
 as the best bakery in town\, we&rsquo\;re just glad that they&rsquo\;re 
 allowing us a chance to showcase our own baking skills\,&rdquo\; Pettice
  adds.\nHarkness House for Children provides early childhood learning fo
 r children from six weeks to kindergarten. The school specializes in inf
 ant and early childhood development\, and maintains low teacher-to-stude
 nt ratios.\nFor more information\, call 847-501-2549\, or visit www.hark
