Update from the Family Consumer Science Department

Mrs. Peggy Lengauer, from the Family Consumer Science Department has been incorporating different projects into her classes.

Students in 7th and 8th period are currently in the process of making hardtack candy. Once made, they will have these creations available for purchase. As a positive consequence, the second floor of the high school smells like a candy factory in the afternoon.

Students in the Families Today, Living Today (FTLT) class are wrapping up with a project on parenting responsibilities. Students of the class are required to carry around 5-lb flour bags in conjuction with researching different components of the birthing process and infancy. While students are working with the 'flour baby' component of the project, they must keep them on their person at all times, unless they are able to arrange a 'babysitter'. While this project cannot replicate the newborn experience, it does provide students with a brief glimpse of the responsibilies of parenthood.
