The Class of 2019 culminated their research involving heredity with a color blind lab.

The ACS Food Club was at it again! Yesterday the 8th graders, Mrs.Derevenska, and Mrs. Shumny listened attentively as Mrs. Pickering as she shared her infamous chocolate truffle recipe. The delicious dessert was …well… SIMPLY DELICIOUS! Each student was able to make their own family size portion of the dessert to take home. This club allows our 8th graders to learn a new skill and to appreciate the joy of cooking. Thank you Mrs. Pickering for the new recipe. Stay tuned for Sr. Yosaphata’s pierogy recipe!

Walking through the halls I have wondered why there was the distinct smell of deliciousness in the air after school hours. If you looked into the kitchen you would have seen the Eighth Grade Food Club once again learning new cooking afeteria recently, you might skills. This time under the direction of Mrs. Shumny they learned how to prepare her famous empanadas. She gave them step by step directions to prepare the filling for the shells. After all of the members has constructed their own empanadas, Mrs. Shumny fried them so were able to take them home to share with their family. The club members are now looking forward to spending time with Sister Yosaphata to learn how to make pierogis.
