Mrs. Otterstad's Baking and Pastry class learned how to make 6-strand braided challah bread. It is made with no dairy and sweetened with honey. It is beautiful and delicious!
* Challa bread traditionally used as a centerpiece for Ashkenazi Jewish ceremonies, though it can be found in bakeries as a part of their daily offerings. The name challah is derived from a Hebrew word that refers to the portion of dough given to the Lord as a gift. Today, observing Jewish bakers will still tear a small piece of dough away to burn in the oven or fire while making a blessing.











🐙Who's up for a game of Octopus and Crab🦀? These students had a blast being the octopus and tagging their classmates with their tentacles! Once tagged, they turned into a crab until they could get a high five. #phyedfun

Global Studies students completed a sidewalk art installation called Red Sand Project. 50 million people worldwide are being trafficked or are living in modern slavery. We can't merely walk over the most marginalized people in our communities-those who fall through the metaphoric cracks. Together, we can question, connect, and take action against vulnerabilities that lead to human trafficking and exploitation. #RedSandProject.
Here is the link to the Red Sand Project website redsandproject.org
and the 24-hour, multilingual National Human Trafficking Hotline: 1-888-373-7888.
