The 7th Annual Gingerbread Extravaganza

Today we built gingerbread houses, one of my favourite events of the entire year. The grade 8 students came from Summitview School to help us out and Mrs. Price even made a special appearance! Mrs. Hammer and I have learnt a lot since our first gingerbread day seven years ago. We now use meringue powder icing and have students build free-standing houses (instead of building them onto milk cartons). I am extremely impressed with how well all students did, and am especially pleased with the number of multiple-room houses I saw being built. I hope all students enjoy their sugary creations as much as I enjoyed gingerbread day!
