To celebrate the Christmas season, the Hanson freshman Nutrition and Wellness class baked a variety of Christmas goodies throughout the month of December. Goodies ranged from cake pops to fudge to snickerdoodles.
The class is taught by Mrs. Kelli Endorf with 27 freshmen students enrolled. The students were split into kitchen groups where they worked together to select Christmas goodie recipes to make. Each kitchen group prepared four different recipes.
When planning, the students had to make sure no other group was making the same recipe, decide when to prepare it, and determine if the recipe needed to be doubled to provide goodies for the entire class.
On Wednesday, December 15, the class celebrated by wearing Christmas pajamas, listened to Christmas music, and enjoyed hot apple cider and hot chocolate while filling their trays with a mix of Christmas goodies prepared by the class. Of course, some of the goodies were sampled right away, but each student had a tray to take home and share with family and friends.
