🍁 A Heartfelt Thank You to LPHS Culinary! 🍁

Today, our LPHS Culinary students, under the leadership of Mr. Skalski, treated our faculty and staff to an absolutely delicious Thanksgiving lunch. From carved ham and roasted turkey to mashed potatoes, fresh salads, warm rolls, and homemade desserts, every dish was prepared and served with incredible care and professionalism.

Our kitchen and dining room were filled with teamwork, holiday spirit, and plenty of full plates! Staff enjoyed a beautifully organized buffet line, festive table settings, and plenty of time to sit together and share a Thanksgiving meal as a school family.

We are so grateful for the hard work, time, and culinary skill poured into this event.

💚 Thank you, LPHS Culinary and Mr. Skalski, for making today extra special!
