Advanced Foods Class is doing a grilling unit first semester. They have been learning all about different types of grills,different foods that you may grill, and grilling techniques. Mrs. Schmitt's all boy class is really into this unit. They learned the science behind making a good Smash Burger getting a Mallard effect and about cooking surface area. The boys learned about cooking with fatty hamburgers to get a juicer burger, even though they are smashed when cooking. A fierce competition of Smash Burger Sliders commenced with custodian Zach Prouty and Mr. Manson as judges. The young chefs were pressed for time with a little bit of rain and some of the burgers were not cooked thoroughly and others were overseasoned. One burger group got it just right and won the competition with bragging rights. We have two more weeks of this unit, so we will see what they learn to make next.

Congratulations and thank you to Geoff Maurer for participating in an Iowa STEM Teacher Externship this summer!

Along with 95 other educators, Geoff spent six weeks working with the Iowa DNR at Sweet Marsh in Sumner. We are grateful for the impact Geoff has made by bringing the knowledge, experiences, and insights from this opportunity back to share with our staff and students.

Thank you, Geoff, for your dedication to learning and for helping connect real-world experiences to learning in our schools!

8th grade students in Mr Rude’s intervention group are examining how to photograph food to make it look the most appealing! Learning skills like this translate to marketable skills when they graduate. As you can see, the students improved the quality of the picture through the use of light and positioning.

Bus #13 and #9 are running behind.

The students are off to a great start this year thanks to Lynch BBQ Store and Lynch Foundation for donating spices to our Family & Consumer Science Program. Mrs. Schmitt also shared some spices with Mr. Rude in middle school for his endmester class on grilling. Advanced Foods plans on firing up the grill next week for labs in their grilling unit. They will first learn about grilling fundamentals, tips, safety, marinades and so much more. It is a great day to be a Chickasaw!

What an awesome day welcoming our students back to school! Here's to an amazing 2026-27 school year!

The first day is underway! Some of the middle schoolers got a chance to get outside and stretch their legs a bit!
