Food Production I Class was hard at work this week making their Chicken Divine Pasta Dish for our PBL (Project Based Learning) project. Our question was, "What's for Supper?" and our solution was our Take-N-Bake Meals made from scratch and then frozen for the community to buy. I am not sure if we will have any extra time this semester to make more meals, but if we do I will post it on our social media.

In this info session, we’ll talk about:
How this opportunity will benefit your student
What we’ll see and do on our trip
Everything that’s included in this experience
How your child can earn academic credit
How we’re keeping this safe and affordable
How to enroll on this trip (before it fills up!) during EF’s risk-free enrollment period
There are limited spots on this trip, so please attend this meeting to learn more about this exciting opportunity!

Having a good time dancing! Go Chickasaws!
