The "Gate 7" Restaurant-- a Chinese/Asian theme-- was open for business on Wednesday, April 10. This event serves as a capstone project for the class and provides the students with a "real life" type of experience of working in the Restaurant and Food Service Industry.
Students in Mrs. Morse's Advanced Culinary Arts class applied for their roles and created this restaurant from the ground up. The Front of the House Staff-- Manager Jack, Host Lucas, Waiters Topher and Alex- decorated the dining room, set the tables, and served the customers. The Back of the House Staff-- Head Chef Nate and Assistant Chefs Kelan and Ben chose the menu and prepared the food.
The class served over 60 guests for lunch and dinner. The menu consisted of: Orange Chicken or Beef Lo Mein with egg roll side, dessert of Waffle Sundaes and Soup/Salad Bar option.
It was a memorable and enjoyable dining experience for our students, staff, and community.
Reminder: Surveys are due by April 22, 2024!

Congratulations to OMS and OHS Fox Friday winners from April 19, 2024! These students were nominated by staff members or other students for demonstrating the Fox Four (Safety, Responsibility, Respect, or Positivity).
Staff members were nominated by students or other staff members for being a role model, an advocate for students, or having a positive connection with students.
Over Spring Break, members of Spanish 3 and Spanish 4 spent spring break discovering all of the amazing culture of Belize. The first day of the tour, the group tried it ziplining. After a traditional Belizean lunch of chicken, rice and beans, they visited a hot sauce factory and got to try a number of different peppers and sauces. Then they traveled to Xunantunich, a beautiful Maya city and climbed the Pyramid there. They could even see Guatemala, less than a mile away!
On their second day in Belize, the group started their day in a women's cooperative learning the traditional Mayan methods to make pottery and corn tortillas. In the afternoon, they canoed in the Macal River to experience the flora and fauna. They dropped toucans, iguanas, a white hawk, some howler monkeys and more.
On Day 3 of the Belize trip, students were surprised with a side trip to swim in a Cenote called the Blue Hole. Then, they went cave tubing. It was really cool (and a little scary) when everyone turned off their lights. They saw the areas of the caves that the Mayans used for a variety of ceremonies. In the evening, they went to a Garifuna museum to learn about their unique culture.
Next Friday, we will share a summary of days 4-6!
