Christmas has come early to the Family & Consumer Science Classroom! Thanks to Mr. Manson and Mrs. Schmitt and the State Perkin's Grant a few items were purchased, free of charge to NHHS, for next semester's new class: Baking & Food Production. It will be a new entrepreneurship business the students will create and run. More to come on our future pizza business and take and bake casseroles. We were able to buy towels and dish cloths, a pizza oven, a shrink wrapper for the pizzas, and a new cart. More items to follow.
Two more grants were awarded to NHHS thanks to Mrs. Schmitt's grant writing: McElroy Grant and a Theisen Grant. The goal is to have an industrial dishwasher for the foods' room and future Chickasaw Cafe by next year.
