Christmas fun in the FCS room. Students competed in an Iron Chef competition. 3 teams were given, ham, cinnamon, green onion, crescent rolls, and cranberries to make a dish fit for the teachers. Three fabulous dishes were made and 3 judges tasted the fixings. The winning team was Kaden Allen, Chloe Schaeffer and Cayson Johnston with a garlic, ham, monkey bread with a cranberry sauce to compliment the dish. The winners took home the gold spatula!!!

Check out the amazing graham cracker houses some of the high school students made today. The broken one died in transport, but the boys who made it started referring to it as a beaver dam. 😊
This morning students 7-12 started the day with a 6 team dodgeball tournament. The winners got bragging rights and had a great time!
For our 8th grade cummulative project student's were challanged to make a Santa's sleigh that could roll and survive a crash at various heights down a ramp. The students had a great time and learned a lot about balancing a cargo and how important balanced wheels are to a successful vehicle.
