There is an industrial fire at IFF that is being managed by authorities. The smoke trail is spanning across all three of our campuses. We will be keeping classes and student inside until the smoke has cleared to avoid unnecessary exposure to the smoke.

Mrs. Young's FCS class welcomes you to the 1940's!
So far they have made Food for the Gods from the 1900's and Blackberry Jam Cake with Ermine Frosting from the 1920's. Only a few more decades as they bake their way through the "Baking Yesteryear" cookbook (@bdylanhollisofficial).
Dream Bars are a type of bar cookie with a crunchy cookie base topped with a soft, brown-sugar caramel chewy texture mixed in with coconut and pecans. It was a two-part recipe, first, they had to bake the crust, then they had to mix the filling, pour it atop the crust, and bake again.




This is a reminder that we have IAR testing for 3rd-5th grades this week at the elementary school. Thank you for getting your kids to school on time and encouraging them to rock this test! Thanks!
Mr. Kean
