Spooky Treats👻
Mrs. Burnett's Principles of Culinary Arts and Hospitality classes tried some artistic creativity this week during their kitchen labs. The students prepared the recipe for Rice Krispie treats and then made "ghost-shapes" before adding melted almond bark and faces to their edible creations.

Life Vac Donation to Southwest Parke Schools
Life Vac is a life saving tool for children and adults who are choking on an object. While all staff are trained in life saving measures, Chelsea Brown and her family wanted to donate these kits for a second-line of intervention while waiting on EMS to arrive as every second matters for any child or adult in a choking situation.
Each kit donated by the Brown family contains three of the devices. The family has donated one kit to Riverton Parke and one to Rosedale Elementary.
