Shelley Cruise showed the Culinary Arts class how to decorate cakes on Wednesday. Shelley has been decorating cakes for over 40 years. Students learned how to use different types of frosting tips, different frosting types, and different designs that they can create. Students then came up with a design and plan for their own cakes! Each student made and decorated their own two-tier cake.

Mrs. Patterson took her Personal Finance students on a house tour with the help of Realtor Karla Jacobson. The students looked at various types/prices of houses. This included one currently being remodeled, a recent sale, a new construction, and a shouse. Karla and Mrs. Patterson talked about what to look for when shopping for houses, benefits and disadvantages of buying a house, and the cost/benefit of a new build vs. a preexisting home. Thank you to all of the homeowners for allowing our students this opportunity and Karla and Fortify Group for supplying the kids with lunch as well.

This year we hosted our first annual Cupcake Wars! Food Science and Nutrition students were put into pairs and were tasked with coming up with a creative design for their cupcakes. Each group had to decorate 3 identical cupcakes or 3 cupcakes that fit within a theme. Each group was judged on their creativity and the uniformity of all 3 of their cupcakes. Students created several very unique designs to be judged by the high school staff! The winners of the 4th period were "The Flourists" and the winners of the 6th period were team "KAS"!

Kari Hamilton from Southwest Dairy Farmers brought their Mobile Dairy Classroom to Fillmore Central Elementary on Monday, March 13. The students learned what is involved with taking care of dairy cattle, anatomy of dairy cows, the importance of dairy foods for good health, and watched a milking demonstration with modern equipment like an actual milking parlor. Kari was scheduled to be in the area but had a cancellation. She contacted Fillmore Central Ag Teacher, Kurt VanDeWalle, to see if she could add a stop in Geneva. The elementary teachers were flexible and worked this opportunity into their schedules with short notice.
