Foods II classes made chocolate and banana cream pies last week. They made a homemade crust using pie weights to blind bake the empty shell. Then, they made the homemade pudding for the filling. Students tempered the eggs and stirred them over the stove until they made a creamy filling.

Foods II and Foods III students went on a field trip to Effingham. It was a busy day full of delicious food! Students went to Niemerg's, where they toured the facility and ate sweets from their bakery. For lunch, they went to Lucia's Italian Kitchen, where Chef Geno demonstrated making homemade pasta and taught them about the hospitality industry. He also made them lunch with a little help from a student. Before heading back to school, students enjoyed ice cream from Homewood Grill and relaxed in Community Park.

The Lincoln Prairie Conference hosted its Outstanding Senior Athletes Luncheon on April 15 at Yoder’s in Arthur. Each school selected two seniors who have distinguished themselves through excellence in both academics and athletics.

Mr. Huffman and Mr. Roedl selected Owen McGinnis and Natalie Beaumont in recognition of their exceptional high school careers. Their success in wrestling, along with their many other athletic and academic accomplishments, set them apart as leaders and role models.

Owen and Natalie stood out among an impressive group of student-athletes from across the conference. We are incredibly proud of them and the example they have set for others.

The CHS Community Living / Community Service class just wrapped up a great community service project! ✂️🧵

Students worked hard to sew 20 pencil zipper bags, which were delivered to the Cumberland Elementary principal to be shared with students who may need them. They filled them with some goodies like sharpened pencils and Chapstick.

This project was a great way for students to build real-life skills while giving back to our school community. A big thank you to those who donated materials to help make this possible. We truly appreciate your support! 💙
