The FACS Food Truck Competition was the culmination of a month-long project on entrepreneurship. 💡 Students had to create a food truck name, slogan, menu, and logo, as well as find a recipe to showcase. Then they had to actually make that recipe for a panel of expert judges (Whittier staff 😉).
Students pictured with the golden spatula were the class winners and earned a spot on the Wall of Fame in the FACS kitchen! 👩🍳 #CreativityInTheClassroom
