LAST DAY - Homecoming Shirt Fundraiser for Post Prom 2027!

Please help us continue our fundraising efforts of Post Prom 2027.  With the event being one of the biggest expenses of the year to host, it is important for the parents of Class 2028 to start raising funds early.  We thank you in advance for your support in helping to provide a safe and memorable night for those attending Prom 2027!

All items will be ready to pick up during the week of Homecoming.  The football game and parade are October 2nd.  It is our hope to see the towns people swarming in these shirts.

Deadline to order is September 18th by 12:00 pm.

🧀 Say Cheese! 🧀 Our Culinary 2 students put their taste buds to work this week with a cheese tasting experience as part of our Dairy Unit! Students sampled a variety of cheeses while exploring the differences between soft, semi-soft, semi-hard, and hard cheeses. They compared flavor, texture, appearance, and other characteristics all while stepping outside their comfort zones and trying something new! We were excited to have Mr. Allen join us to experience the flavors alongside our students. It’s always fun when others come to the table and share in the learning! Hands-on experiences like this help students connect what we learn in the classroom to the foods and ingredients they will encounter in the culinary world. 🧀 Building skills for life—one bite at a time!

🍎A Sweet Start to a New Unit!🍏 Culinary 1 whipped up a classic favorite "Snickers Apple Salad" to kick off our new unit on fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices! This tasty treat gave students the perfect opportunity to review and practice some of the foundational skills we’ve been building in the kitchen, including knife skills, following a recipe, measuring ingredients, and working safely and efficiently as a team. And what better way to start learning about fruits than with plenty of freshly chopped apples...and maybe a little Snickers mixed in for good measure! 😉 A simple recipe, lots of skill practice, and a pretty delicious way to start our next unit.

🍪 The Culinary 3 Bake Shop Has Been BUSY! Our Culinary 3 students have been putting their baking skills and their food science knowledge to work lately! We started by digging into the functions of baking ingredients and then put that knowledge to the test by experimenting with how changing ingredients can affect the final outcome of a classic chocolate chip cookie.🍪 Students were able to see firsthand that baking really is a science! Next, after taste-testing several of the newest viral Oreo flavors, students took on the challenge of recreating an American favorite completely from scratch. From making the chocolate cookies to creating the filling, they discovered just how much goes into something we usually grab straight from the package. Most recently, the Bake Shop tackled meringue cookies, practicing a whole new set of techniques and learning just how important precision, patience, and technique can be in baking. We aren't just following recipes in Culinary 3 - we're learning why they work, experimenting with what happens when we make changes, and building the skills to become better bakers along the way.
