Due to the weather, C-I Schools will have an e-learning day, Thursday, December 16.
The Culinary Arts 1 class spent last week competing for "The Golden Spatula!" Kitchens teamed up to compete against each other for a gourmet grilled cheese cook-off challenge. The winners were Kitchen 3 with a sandwich titled "The Maple Miranda." It included sourdough bread, swiss cheese, bacon, and a homemade maple onion jam.
The judges were several staff members, included in this post are two of the judges!
Who will win The Golden Spatula for this week's challenge of a unique holiday treat? Stay tuned!


Reminder: It is an early dismissal today. The high school is out at 1:00 and CRES is out at 1:20.
Have a great day!

Tis the season to be jolly....fa la la la la la la la la!

C-I's students are at it again! Mr. Otterstad's art students have been busy working on clay art, acrylic painting, and creative crafts. Keep up the great work!
