JCHS Foods classes took on the MRE Chopped Challenge last week! Armed with mystery Meals Ready-to-Eat ingredients, students had to think creatively, work as a team, and transform shelf-stable items into something delicious (and presentation-worthy 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳). The competition was fierce, the creativity was impressive, and the kitchen was full of problem-solving and teamwork!

March is National Athletic Training Month, and we want to take the time to celebrate our amazing Athletic Trainer, Tanner Krumwiede.

We are incredibly grateful for the care, dedication, and expertise Tanner brings to our student-athletes every single day. From injury prevention and emergency care to rehabilitation and return-to-play decisions, his role is essential to the health and safety of our programs.

Thank you for everything you do for our teams and for being such a vital part of our athletic family. We appreciate you today and every day!
