Advanced Foods took a field trip to Cedar Rapids. Our first stop was Kathy's Pies. The students were surprised how much baked goods they produced! There was a pie crust roller that we wished we had in our classroom. It was so interesting.
Advanced Foods was so fortunate to have time with Kirkwood's Pastry Chef / Instructor: Chef Smith. The students had a fun time learning in a commercial kitchen and made some of the most delicious cookies. Kirkwood also sent us home with a Boston Creme Pie! It was well worth the trip to Cedar Rapids for a day of learning, taste testing, and fun! "My students made me so proud!" Mrs. April Schmitt stated.
Advanced Foods has a student that would like to be a pastry chef. We decided she should job shadow and find out if this was for her. We were so fortunate to actually have time with Kirkwood's Pastry Chef / Instructor: Chef Smith. I know even as a culinary teacher I learned so much in just a couple of hours. The students worked hands on weighing ingredients and made some of the most delicious cookies.
Advanced Foods ate lunch at Biaggi's Ristorante Italiano in Cedar Rapids on Friday. We are starting a unit about Cooking Around the World, so it fits right into our lessons. The food was AMAZING!
New Hampton Schools will be two hours late today, Monday, April 17th.

Safety of all students is very important for our school. As a school, there are many events that can happen and decisions need to be made to keep all students and staff safe. Yesterday, we had a student medical emergency and our students and staff stepped up to help render assistance to the student. Every year our seniors are required to have training in CPR. As a high school, we have been doing it during our PE classes for several years so all students are exposed to how to handle some of these medical type emergencies. One of our students yesterday noticed a student that had fallen to the floor and was not breathing well. The helping student was able to quickly assess the situation and help to open the student’s airway. In doing so, this action helped create a positive outcome for our student in need. At the same time, our teachers were working on helping to make the room safe for everyone, move students to different locations, notify the office, call 911 for help, and halt the movement of students around the building to help emergency responders get to the student in need. Planning and preparation drills have given our students and staff the ability to quickly make decisions and help everyone in situations that can occur in the school. I would also like to thank our community response time with our EMS, police, and first responders. We have excellent staff in our community and a need for more volunteers to help keep our community safe and strong!
