The elves were busy in culinary today, making gingerbread cookies with the Pre-K and Early Childhood Education students. Pre-K students decorated their own cookies with some assistance. They came back to pick up their baked cookies after a short story only to find that their gingerbread men had jumped out of the oven and were hiding out in the school. The students hunted for their gingerbread runaways until they found a trail of flour that led to their cookies hiding in the classroom!
