Catching Up

It's hard to believe how fast this school year is flying by!  I counted up the other day (for planning purposes, I'm actually not in a countdown for the end of the year this year.  I'm enjoying it!) and I have 33 days left with my seniors (not counting the days we're gone on senior trip and FCCLA state convention).  We then have one week of regular classes, two days of semester exams, then the last day of school!  It's crazy!  So here's a catch up on what's been going on.

The 2nd Annual NCHS Iron Chef Soup Cookoff went great!  We had cheeseburger soup, bacon potato soup, steak soup, meatball soup, and French onion soup.  First place went to the green kitchen with their steak soup.  Second was the blue kitchen with bacon potato, and third was the brown kitchen with their French onion.  It was a very close competition this year, and the judges definitely had their work cut out for them. 

The FCCLA hosted their first dance (while I've been at the school anyway). The FCCLA Winter Formal was held on February 18th. Winter Nights was our theme. Decorations looked like this:

 

 

The majority of my club stayed after school to help decorate.  And I had several help tear down afterwards too.  I would definitely call it a success.  It wasn't anything fancy, but I think all the kids had fun.  I guess we'll do it again next year.

We also celebrated Mardi Gras in my Foodservice Occupations class by making crepes.  The kids had a lot of fun trying to flip their crepes, and some of them got really good at it.  Of course the best part was eating the results. 

I also get to go on the senior trip as a chaperone this year.  We're headed to San Diego, CA in April.  We get four full days there to visit the San Diego Zoo, Safari Park, Sea World and the beach.  Flying across the country with 21 seniors should definitely be an experience!
