Culinary Breakfast Challenge

Each semester Ms. Anderson's Culinary I classes partake in a Culinary Challenge. The most recent challenge was to create a healthy breakfast. Students work in teams and spend a few classes coming up with their menus and grocery lists. On Thursday March 27th, the kitchen was buzzing with excitement as the students scurried to complete their meals in the one hour time frame. In addition to creating a healthy start to the day, students had to consider plate presentation as well as set the tables and serve their guest judges. Teams were scored based on teamwork, organization, cleanup, recipe accuracy, healthy menu choices, execution and presentation. The winning team receives gift cards for local businesses. The meals were impressive and delicious.

Decks for Kev

Nauset Senior and Wellfleet local Kevin Fitzgerald passed away this past December after a long, hard fought battle with leukemia.  Kevin was a fun-loving, thrill seeker, who loved extreme sports.  Skateboarding was Fitzgerald's favorite sport by far; he was one of the best skaters Wellfleet has ever seen.
 Several Nauset students are participating in a fundraiser called "Decks For Kev."  Artists across the country are designing skate decks in honor of Kevin to be auctioned online through the Facebook page "Decks For Kev."  Bidding will begin in April online; all funds will benefit the Fitzgerald family.  This fundraiser is a great way to support emerging artists, assist the Fitzgerald family, and simply show some love for one of Wellfleet's finest.
