Today in Unified Foods, students became kitchen safety detectives! 🔍🍳 They analyzed different “kitchen safety crime scenes” to identify hazards, make inferences about what may have happened, and determine which category of kitchen hazard was involved. This hands-on activity helped build critical thinking and safety awareness as we prepare for cooking. Later this week, students will begin their first lab!

Today, students had their first cooking experience, learning how to use a rolling pin and getting expert tips from the pro herself, Ms. Kirby, on how to roll out the perfect circle! 🥧
We are looking forward to a great semester filled with new learning experiences, skill-building, and meaningful connections with our amazing OHS buddies. 🧑🍳🍳🍪

OHS Families,
It's a tradition at Olympia High School to feature special student recognition spaces in the final pages of our yearbook. We call these Pride Ads, an opportunity for families and friends to recognize a graduating senior in their life with a photo and proud message.
Our size options range from 1/8th-page to full-page spaces. Some send in one or more favorite photos of their graduate growing up, and some choose to feature sports portraits and photoshoot pictures. All are accompanied by messages that range from a couple sentences to entire paragraphs, signed with the names of loved ones.
To set up a Pride Ad for your graduating senior, visit jostensadservice.com/student and click “Create A Student Ad.” If you haven’t already, you or your student can also order their yearbook at jostens.com/buyyearbk, or call 1-877-767-5217.

Foods 1 students crushed their Christmas Cookie Food Truck project this week by blending holiday baking with hands-on STEM engineering. After building custom truck models and crafting festive menus, they "sold" their specialty cookies to teachers and administrators who were able to stop by. Such creativity and professional hustle displayed by all!
The Olympia Transition Program has had a fun and festive winter season celebrating the upcoming holidays! 🎄✨ Students enjoyed creating a Christmas lights plate using thumbprints, making ornaments, volunteering in the community, celebrating birthdays, and working on a positive affirmations tree. We also focused on social skills lessons, discussing helpful strategies to use over winter break and celebrated one of our own OTP student's artwork showcased in the Art Show. It’s been a season full of learning, creativity, and connection!
