The CB Holicong MS Bee Well Club has been spreading some beauty the past few weeks to our staff. Thanks to Brett Vogelsinger and our students who planted and maintained our garden all year. Can’t wait to plan and start our next season.
Thank you Jon Gordon for the inspiration to have my CB Holicong MS Ss choose their #oneword to have their #bestyearever . Based on these words we are going to have a school year filled with #fun , #calm , #happy , #positive , #kind , and so much more!!
Completed my annual local blueberry buying Solebury Orchards to freeze for my CB Holicong MS 9th Gr Cooking Ss. We will make delicious and nutritious blueberry pineapple hand pies and discuss #buyinglocal #carbonfootprint #freezingfresh #superfoods #piemaking . Can’t wait! #FCSTeacher
I demonstrated how to make a Frozen Fruit Parfait with Homemade Maple Granola for my 9th Gr Cooking Ss. I was able to add kale from our CB Holicong MS garden thanks to our Bee Well Club and Brett Vogelsinger. Students were very impressed and I am hopeful they will eat more kale.
The Bee Well Club Garden is coming alive thanks to Brett Vogelsinger and the hard work of our CB Holicong MS students. Beautiful flowers, fragrant herbs, and delicious vegetables will be forthcoming. Stay tuned!!
I never imagined one of the biggest smiles after eating CB Holicong MS Ss cooking would come from a horse. Ss continue to AMAZE me with their #athomecooking and skills: measuring, whisking, chopping, & beautiful presentation. “We eat first with our eyes.” #FCSTeacher #cbsdproud
It was a day of #fun and #love CB Holicong MS. We started with coffee and kisses, we recognized colleagues that we admire, and ended with 'name that romantic tune.' Lots of smiles and laughs, and a good time was had by all. #happyvalentines #spreadlove ❤️🎵❤️

It was a great final Cooking Challenge for Unami Middle School as we began with a pizza demonstration from 'Chef John' - Culinary Director GT Prime and GT fish & Oyster. The kids loved hearing how he got started, what it is like to work in a restaurant, and hope to visit him in Chicago.
The count of #homemademasks sewn and distributed by Central Bucks SD #FCS teachers recently surpassed 1,000. We are very grateful our practical skills could help keep our families, friends and communities safe during this #pandemic . Thanks to Windham Fabrics for the fabric. #sewists
