Key Club:

Key Club thanked Mr. Bill Hanley for his 13 years of service as our Kiwanis advisor at this week’s Key Club meeting.  He is retiring as our Kiwanis advisor at the end of the school year.  We honored him for all the dedication, hard work, and commitment he has given to our club since chartering it in 2005!  It has been a fun and busy 13 years!  We have grown a ton under his leadership.  We will miss him, his generous heart, and kind smile here at the meetings!  Luckily, we will still have Kiwanis/Key Club events to catch up.   Mr. Hanley, you are one in a million!

Culinary Arts Class:

The Culinary Arts class attended their last field trip of the year at Tosi’s Restaurant in Stevensville.  The McCrery family rolled out the red carpet for us!  They were so very generous of their time and even taught the students how to make pizzas in their fire oven.  They demonstrated how they make all their pasta from scratch with a rolling/cutting machine straight from Italy!  They shared the history of the restaurant, stories of the décor, and gave tips on running a family owned business.  They have 5 generations of family members that have worked at Tosi’s.  They also talked to the students about keeping things fun with new ideas, like there new “chefs table” and the possibility of curing their own meats in the future.  We can’t thank the McCrery’s enough for their hospitality, and generously feeding us lunch too! Grazie!
