folks really look forward to each year: the Cheeseboard Collective generously donates the use of their lovely space, their labor (on their day off!) and their love, as well as their delicious food to an intimate fundraising event just for Berkeley High. The
party features music from one of the BHS jazz ensembles, wine, and of course - cheese and cheese-centric treats! The event takes place in the Pizza Collective space, and spills out onto the sidewalk parklet outside - so lovely at this time of year! Due to
space and the limits of a small collective, tickets are VERY limited; we can only sell 120 of them. Adults only, please - there’s wine - included in the $50 ticket price.Tickets available at https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/3627006</span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></span></p>

instruments and equipment - otherwise students’ experimental work won’t be successful. The current method is an antiquated pressure cooker, which takes 3 hours and constant supervision. The new machine will free up teachers’ valuable time for teaching students
and will double capacity.</span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></span></p>
