Hey, I’m Dakota, and I am junior here at Inlet Grove. A few words to describe me are rabbit lover and Disney-fanatic. I have a Labrador retriever named Maverick and a pet rabbit whose his name is — you guessed it — Disney! I have a passion for rabbits, since my old school had a garden with chickens and rabbits; I grew to love those rabbits since my first day of middle school. I am in the Culinary career program. When I grow up I would love to be a baker because baking is something I love to do and I would like others to enjoy what I create!

The girls group created a pan-seared chicken topped with a BBQ and citrus sauce and fresh sweet peppers to garnish. Judged by Assistant Principal for the class of 2021, Scott McDermott.

DO THE DEW? Chef Newman loves to drink Diet Pepsi and all her Culinary Arts students are trying to help her stop drinking them because they are actually not that better for you than other regular sodas. So every time she buys one, we play a joke on her and hide her soda in various area's throughout the kitchen. On May 17th she had bought a Diet Mountain Dew. So we hid the soda behind the table in the breakfast line. She searched everywhere for it. She finally found it when the bell rang for 1st period to begin!
