"The Magic School Food Truck" was open for business on Thursday, May 23, from 11:00-1:00 and served 40 customers. Their menu consisted of Smash Burgers, Club Multi-decker Sandwich, Chicken Gnocchi Soup, Fresh Fruit Salad, and Rice Krispy Rolls.
A great meal was enjoyed by all of the customers!

Students worked in partnerships to design a cake according to their client's request. "Clients" ranged from a cake for a 5 year old's birthday who likes animals and outdoors, a cake to celebrate Father's Day and a graduation cake. Guess which cake won?
Congrats to Nate and Lucas-- Dinosaur Cake!
