More incredible Grade 10 Foods Gingerbread decorating taking place!
Gr. 10 Foods classes enjoyed a week of Gingerbread House making: baking dough, rolling it out and cutting perfect pieces, whipping together "Royal Icing" to help glue their house together, and then finally decorating them! Happy Holidays!
The Gr. 12 Yearbook class welcomed back professional photographer Richard Beland, to instruct the class on portrait and studio lighting, with hands on experience and camera use.
Mrs. Fryer's Grade 12 foods classes wanted some friendly competition this week, so they competed in the first ever "Great Cookie Challenge". Each kitchen in all three classes prepared a different recipe - we had everything from classic sugar cookies and gingerbread to chocolate chip to peppermint white chocolate. So much creativity - and sugar - was seen in the classroom this week! Well done, everyone!

We’re grateful for opportunities that bring our community together to help build strong, confident female athletes. A big thank you to all the coaches who attended and offered kind, supportive feedback. It was an amazing experience—we had a blast!
