Nine FCCLA students did our first fundraiser at New Hampton's McDonald's, called McTeacher Night. Mrs. Schmitt and her FCCLA students would like to thank McDonald's Restaurant and all of the New Hampton students and community members that made it a success. The FCCLA received a percentage of the orders and sold coupon pages. The students will use the $520.49 for their trip to the state competition in March.

Advanced Foods students have been learning about herbs and spices. They completed several assignments to understand the differences between them, how to use them to season dishes, and how to identify them by their scent and color. To finish the unit, the class held a taste-testing session and learned why proper seasoning is essential for every chef.

Thank you to the Iowa Beef Producers for a $750.00 grant for high school Family & Consumer Science. We will use the money towards purchases of beef for our labs.
