My favorite thing about being a Bobcat is the strong sense of community. In a smaller, rural school, you really get to know every student and family, and it creates an environment where kids feel supported, seen, and cared for every single day.

Our culinary class has been diving into the art of food garnishing, learning how small details can elevate a simple dish into something visually appealing and professional. This week, students had the opportunity to get hands-on by practicing their garnishing skills using a fun and familiar treat—Twinkies!
