MIDDIE CHEF COMPETITION
This past week, we hosted the Middie Chef Competition for North, East, and West. Our three finalists competed in a healthy cooking challenge. Students collaborated with the food services staff to learn about proper hygiene and food preparation, followed a recipe to craft a nutritious dish, and presented it to the judges. The menu featured items like yogurt parfaits, healthy banana bowls, and energy balls. The students showcased remarkable skills, and the judges thoroughly enjoyed the dishes.
Congratulations to Temperance from Ms. Carnahan's class for being named our Middie chef!
