🍕 OPAA! Pizza Contest Fun at MCE! 🍕
This past week, our amazing kitchen staff brought some student creativity to life by making the pizza recipes of three talented 2nd-grade students as part of the OPAA! pizza contest!
The entire 2nd grade got to join in with a special taste test, and after lots of thoughtful (and delicious!) sampling…
⭐️ The classic cheese pizza with a cheese-stuffed crust was the clear favorite! ⭐️
A big thank you to our cafeteria team for making this such a memorable experience for our students. What a fun way to celebrate student voice and creativity!
