On November 17, the Culinary Arts class, with the help of instructors, Ms. Hammond, Ms. Oppong and assistant teacher Mr. Downy, organized South Bryant’s annual Thanksgiving Dinner. This year’s event was a hit! Members of the community, friends, family, staff and students all came together to share the holiday spirit and wonderful food.

The dining room was decorated in fall colors with beautiful place settings and nicely folded cloth napkins. We served roasted pork loin, turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green been casserole, mac n cheese, deviled eggs, mixed greens, blackberry spinach salad, fresh fruit salad, savory cornbread dressing and so much more. There was also a table designated solely for the many desserts from pie and

cake to fruit salad. There was a second table set up for the rolls and even more desserts. viagra price The dinner was served buffet style, with lines down both sides of the extended tables. 

The culinary arts class had prepared for three days prior to the dinner and the day of the event. Students volunteered to work the front of the house, replenishing the chafing dishes when they ran low. Chefs worked in the kitchen putting the finishing touches on the remaining dishes and restocking the warmers for the servers. The atmosphere was one of unity and joy with high spirits all around.

The food received rave reviews as did the service from our students. All in all, the day went very well. We served 40 people. At ten dollars a plate, the Culinary Arts class raised $400.00 for 2012 class activities!.
