Mrs. Schmitt is offering a new class this year called Hospitality & Tourism. It is so important for our students to learn about the career possibilities in this billion dollar field. We recently took a half day field trip to Cedar Falls. We ate lunch at the Japanese Sakura Restaurant, given a talk by the owner of Chocolatiere Stam about their chocolates from Belgium, and then a tour and discussion at the Black Hawk Hotel; the second oldest hotel in the country. The students have been learning about restaurants, hotels, and tourism. They asked questions about the front and back of the house of a hotel. Learning outside the classroom in the community was a fun experience.
