Mrs. Otterstad’s Baking & Pastry class has been busy learning about challah bread! 🍞

Challah is a traditional Jewish bread, most often enjoyed on the Sabbath and holidays. It’s known for its soft, slightly sweet texture and beautiful braided shape, which symbolizes unity and togetherness. Students mixed, braided, and baked their own loaves while learning about the cultural significance behind this special bread.

Great job to our bakers for combining culinary skills with cultural learning!

Students in Mrs. Syrstad's Children’s Lit class took lesser-known Brothers Grimm fairytales and rewrote them to be appropriate for an audience of children. Students had to justify their changes and explain how their changes are more developmentally appropriate for a younger audience.
Students then presented them to the class.

🍰Our culinary students have been busy baking up something amazing! 🍰This week, two kitchen groups took on a full scratch-cake challenge — from researching recipes to costing ingredients to creating every layer by hand.

👩‍🍳 Kitchen 1:
Olivia Essman, Taya Hiltbrunner, and Grey Colwell
✨ Made a strawberry cake

👨‍🍳 Kitchen 2:
Zachary Hoyt, Justin Reisz, Jayda Neumann, Avah Stroschein, and Jayda Windorski
✨ Made a butter pecan cake

Students crafted their cakes, fillings, frostings, and coatings completely from scratch — and the results looked incredible! Great job to both teams for their hard work and creativity! 🎉👏
