Thanks to Linda Johnson, the new youth services librarian in Phillips, for sharing this fun collaboration. Leveraging her existing connection with the school and with the Family and Consumer Education teacher, Linda organized a Great Halloween Cupcake Bake-Off for students in the Foods I course at the high school. Students from several grade levels created spooky cupcakes for the contest. They were bussed to the library to show off their creations to the judges–a library board member, a community member, and two library staffers. It made for a fun, lighthearted project that capitalized on the popularity of bake-off television programs and attracted the attention of the media! Next up: a cookie contest in time for winter holidays!
