🍎🍏 Fall Cooking in Culinary Arts! 👩🍳👨🍳
Our Culinary Arts classes are gearing up for some delicious fall cooking! This week, students made applesauce using two different methods.
🍎 Method 1: Peel, core, and cook the apples.
🍏 Method 2: Quarter and core the apples, then use a food mill to separate the applesauce from the peelings.
Students then took some of their homemade applesauce and turned it into a small batch of apple butter! They canned four jelly jars of apple butter to share with their families, with some left over to enjoy with warm biscuits. 🧈🥯
What a delicious way to learn and put their culinary skills to work!
👏 Great job, Culinary Arts! We’re looking forward to seeing what you cook up next! 🍎💙💛

📢 HCPS Student Safety Reminder
The safety and well-being of our students is a shared responsibility. Highland County Public Schools is committed to keeping our students safe and, in accordance with Virginia law and School Board policy, is providing families with important annual information about the safe storage of prescription medications and firearms in the home.
💊 Prescription Medication Safety
Please store all prescription medications in a secure location that is inaccessible to children and teenagers. Keeping medications in their original containers and properly disposing of medications that are no longer needed can help prevent accidental poisoning, misuse, and unauthorized access.
🔒 Firearm Safety
Families are encouraged to:
• Store firearms unloaded and locked.
• Store ammunition separately from firearms.
• Use a gun safe, lockbox, trigger lock, or cable lock.
• Ensure children cannot access keys, combinations, or other storage devices.
Simple safety measures can help prevent accidents and protect our children, families, and community.
