This week, Civics students explored how a criminal courtroom functions by taking on key roles like judges and attorneys. After learning the inner workings of a trial, they wrote original court cases that they acted out together in class.

The Foods I students went to Greenville for a field trip recently. They toured Marcoot Jersey Creamery, which is located on a working dairy farm. There they learned about making cheese, and they tasted several different kinds. The highlight of the farm was getting to pet the calves. Then, the group enjoyed lunch at Joe's Pizza and Pasta. The last stop was The Milk House, where various flavors of homemade ice cream were served. Students were even able to see chocolate milk being bottled during their visit.

In Foods I, students prepared homemade pumpkin pancakes using pureed pumpkin, buttermilk, and pumpkin pie spice. To finish the dish, they topped the pancakes with whipped cream, syrup, and cinnamon sugar butter for extra flavor.





Local professional baker Patty Murray of Patty's Cakes and More visited the Foods III kitchen recently to demonstrate cupcake decorating. She taught different techniques and then assisted the students as they practiced their skills. Patty makes it look so easy!
