Shoutout to all of our Vetri Cooking Lab students who came out to the Teaching Kitchen this afternoon for the High School Cookoff! What an exciting way to show off the skills you guys have been building all semester and celebrate the end of the school year! It was so cool to see all of your creative ideas come to life.

Thank you to our wonderful judges, educators, staff, and students who played a role in making today chaotic in the BEST way possible.
