This week, they will learn about and prepare a recipe using the "Creaming Method". After the Quick Bread unit is over, students will be learning about and preparing the 6 Basic Types of Cookies.
Last week, students in one of the Culinary Applications classes prepared Raspberry Chocolate Cups. The dark chocolate cups were created in silicone molds, using tempered chocolate. The filling was a dark chocolate, raspberry mousse (whipped cream, melted dark chocolate, and fresh raspberry puree), topped with fresh raspberries. The dessert was absolutely beautiful and delicious, although very rich.

While all of the students of Stafford Elementary and Stafford Early Learning Center strive to treat others right, make smart decisions, and maximize our potential, each month teachers are nominating a “STAR” student. What is a “STAR” student you ask? A “STAR” student is safe, thoughtful, and respectful but has also been seen showing exemplary effort in demonstrating the specific character focus for the month! In August the character focus was WISDOM. Students learned that wisdom means, “finding out what you should do and doing it!” Congratulations to these STAR students in August whose teachers saw wisdom in- Tucker Mason, Maggie Thrasher, Thomas Russel, Ava Hacking, Nora Trotta, Eli Vetter, and Paige Hacking!
