School, sweet school
Teachers, students get a fun foretaste of the upcoming year
Averie Trzebiatowski, who will be a first-grader at St. Stephen’s Catholic School in Anoka, eats a cookie she decorated Aug. 19 with the help of Faith Ford, right, the school’s new food service director and professional chef. Trzebiatowski and three other students at St. Stephen’s were invited to try out an activity Ford has planned for the school’s open house Aug. 31, in which all students will have their chance to decorate — and eat — cookies, along with their siblings and parents. “Baking is my thing,” said Ford, who won the Star Tribune newspaper’s Holiday Cookie Contest in 2008.
