Freshmen Cramfest
Link Crew is sponsoring Cramfest on Tuesday, December 13th from 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm in the cafeteria. Cramfest is a freshmen only event, where they have the opportunity to ask their teachers and Link Crew leaders questions about finals in December. Freshmen only need to bring themselves and their study materials because snacks and drinks will be provided. Hope to see all the freshmen there!
Department Spotlight – Family and Consumer Sciences
The Gingerbread Houses from our Gourmet Foods class are now on display in the FCS showcase. Congratulations to the following students for their outstanding houses: Greg Zamell, Antton Mattern, Candace Knutson, Lindsay Ratterman, Jessica Schulthies, Stephanie George, and Katie Hamlin. Stop by and see our darling holiday village.
Our Interior Design classes are busy with their final projects: a miniature room. This project allows students to demonstrate their interior design skills while creating a room in one inch scale. Almost everything in each room is made by our talented students. Look for these rooms to be on display right after winter break.
Perhaps you have seen some of our electronic babies out and about. Each semester our Child Development and Relationships students have the opportunity to participate in a parenting simulation with our Baby-Think-It-Over program. This simulation gives our students a realistic feel of the amount of work it takes to care for an infant. We are fortunate to have the opportunity to offer this hands-on program to our students.
Our Foods and Nutrition students are working hard on their final meal projects. This week students are busy planning and shopping for their meal project and next week they will be preparing and serving to themselves and several invited guests. This project allows students to utilize their newly acquired cooking skills as well as providing them the opportunity to plan a meal, consider nutritional requirements, locate recipes, and become wise shopping consumers. This is a great opportunity for our students especially with the holiday season approaching.
Our FCCLA chapter is also gearing up for the holiday season. Many of them are participating in the Toys for Tots drive. Our chapter has also adopted a local family and will provide them with gifts for each family member as well as their holiday meal. They will be delivering to our family the 21st of December. To support this project we are once again selling Gifts-In-A-Jar. These one quart jars include the ingredients for a food item (cookies, muffins, soups, etc) and the recipe to complete them. They have a decorative fabric top. Each sells for $10.00 and make an excellent holiday gift. Anyone interested in purchasing these should call Patti Rains at 303-347-6026 or email her at prains@lps.k12.co.us.
