Semester = officially wrapped… with frosting on top! 🧁🎉

Our culinary students went all out baking and decorating cupcakes, then put their skills to the ultimate test. Staff scored them on display, presentation, and—let’s be honest—the most important part: taste 😋 Sweet creations, big creativity, and a frosted finale to an amazing semester! 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳✨

Tat the Teacher Fundraiser at Schulte School.
The students purchased and assigned tattoos to the staff member of their choice from a list of volunteer staff. Some teachers were brave enough to put them on their neck and face while others had no choice because they were out of other body space. The students enjoyed seeing their teachers tatted up and even looked for the one that they bought.
