Last week, the Culinary team hosted Justin Krezmer who ran a smoothie taste test. Students sampled “food court,” which is an orange cream flavor, and “grandma’s apple pie.” Both flavors of these healthy smoothies were delicious but “grandma’s apple pie” was the favorite!
Sebastian Carroll and Rayhan Sayeed had their submissions accepted to the Start Here invitational HS MS art exhibition held by the RIT College of Art and Design. Sebastian’s (grade 11) pencil on paper drawing is his own design, which he has been working on intermittently for two years. Rayhan (grade 10) taught himself to crochet during the COVID-19 lockdown and crafted the cardigan pictured here. The Start Here exhibition features just 200 pieces of student artwork selected by middle and high school teachers in New York state; the artwork was displayed at the Bevier Gallery on campus. Congratulations to Sebastian and Rayhan!

Although the pool of participants was limited, the intensity of the competition was anything but at the 2023 Spelling Bee in Arkport.

Congratulations to Kaleb and all the contestants who participated in this year's event.
