The Middle School is making a Cove Creek Cookbook this year to raise funds for our 8th grade trip to Washington, DC.

Please submit a favorite recipe with the following information as it applies to you:

• Recipe name, ingredients, instructions and category (ie. appetizer, dessert, international cuisine…)

• Your name (whose recipe is it?) Are you:

• A current student (include grade),

• A former student (include WHS grad year),

• A family member to a student (please include the name of any student you are affiliated with and your relation to them - parent, grandparent, aunt…),

• CC staff or faculty,

• A community member

Please email recipes to Kim McAulay at mcaulayk@wataugaschools.org if at all possible. We will accept handwritten or printed copies, but it will be easier to have digital copies.

Attention parents or families of K-8 students participating in Visual Art classes!

A digital, art portfolio platform is used for students in visual art classes, called Artsonia. If you choose to use this platform, you will be able to digitally view the artwork your child creates throughout the year.
