Students Take Part in Soup Day
Day Treatment and Residential Education students at Gateway-Longview's Lynde School took part in "Soup Day," a day which celebrated both National Soup Month and National Book Month, on Friday, Jan. 27.
Shown above is Jamar, a Day Treatment student, treating his taste buds to a Chili Cook-Off entry.
Activities included a school-wide reading of "Stone Soup" and a Chili Cook-Off. Eight chili recipes were submitted by Lynde School teachers, some with assistance from their students, with students serving as the judges of the entries.
After a heated competition, "Swagg Swagg," a rich and hearty chili entry prepared by teacher Kim Wilson and her students, was named the winning entry.
