The students have not received their ribbons and rubric results for the Cake Decorating Competition. Students and Mrs. Schmitt know they did not finish in the top three for levels 2 & 3, but Mrs. Schmitt was so proud of her students. Braelyn Cagley & Chloe Willadsen were in levels 2 & 3: McKenzie Herzberg and Izabelle Engelhart & Elena Federspiel. You can see from the pictures how amazing their cakes were! There were around 80 submissions, so the competition was fierce.
FCCLA State Competition - We were off to state competition at Cedar Rapids from Sunday, March 23rd to Tuesday, March 25th.
Foods II Classes made many different foods for their Grain Labs: muffins, cheddar bay biscuits, pancakes, fettuccine alfredo, rice dish, cookies, etc. The students learned that you simmer rice and boil pasta. They learned about nutrition, how to store grain products, how to cook different types, and about all of the different kinds of flour.
Foods II Class (two sections) decided they wanted to do a Mac-N-Cheese Competition during our Grain Unit. We invited two judges from MercyOne: Brandon Tenge (a NHHS alumni and is a Director of Ancillary Services) and Jennifer Monteith (manager, development, and public relations). A huge thank you to our judges. They had a difficult job of trying 11 different mac-n-cheese dishes over two class periods. Mrs. Schmitt made a rubric for the students and judges to know what their expectations were.
