Staff Holiday Cookie Exchange & “Nailed It!” Decorating Challenge
This past Friday, our staff came together for a festive holiday cookie exchange, filled with sweet treats and holiday cheer! The event also featured a fun “Nailed It!” Decorating Challenge, where staff were given plain cookies and decorating supplies and tasked with recreating a sample cookie.
Prizes were awarded for creativity, accuracy, and funniest fail attempts. Students were guest judges, while the cookie creators were kept anonymous to the students judging.
The ‘Actually Nailed It’/Closest match certificate went to Ms. White for creating a cookie that most closely matched the challenge design with impressive attention to detail, skill, and steady hands.
The ‘Most Creative’ certificate went to Mrs. Noyd, for demonstrating outstanding creativity, originality, and artistic flair, taking the challenge design and making it uniquely her own.
The ‘Funniest Fail’ certificate went to Mr. Bedient, for embracing the spirit of the challenge with humor, confidence, and a cookie that may not have gone as planned, but absolutely made us laugh!
It was a wonderful way to celebrate the season and share some laughs with colleagues!
