Boys Jamboree THIS Friday night!

Students in Mrs Pickle's Sewing class recently completed a project with Mrs Jody's afternoon preschool class. After reading a book about a little boy whose best friend was the monster under his bed, the preschool students drew pictures of "their" monsters. The high school students then took those pictures and created stuffed versions of the monsters, which were presented to the little kids today. It was a fun activity for all involved!








The Cooking class completed in a Halloween bake-off and each group created a very unique dessert and drink. First place went to Tatiana and Saydie. Holly and Josie placed second, but it was a hard decision for the judges to make! "Great job" to all the students!
