SPRING ISD GINGERBREAD CONTEST FEATURES ELABORATE ENTRIES
SPRING ISD – Hundreds of Spring ISD Child Nutrition workers met at Carl Wunsche Sr. High School Dec. 13 to view the gingerbread contest entries from 38 campuses, and wait for the winners of the 16th annual competition to be judged and announced.
Each year cafeteria workers spend a week or two designing and building elaborate constructions that often break with the traditional concept of a gingerbread cottage. This year’s entries included a castle with a dragon, although the more traditional Santa’s workshop won the coveted people’s choice award. The only criteria is that the entries must be at least 90 percent edible and fit in an area the size of a18 ½ by 22 inch bun pan.
Students watch the houses being constructed during their breakfast and lunch periods. Following the contest, drawings are held at each campus and a lucky student gets to take his or her school’s entry home for the holidays.
Winners of this year’s contest are Westfield High School, high school category; Dueitt Middle School, middle school and people’s choice; Hoyland Elementary School, extra-large category; Cooper Elementary School, large category; Smith Elementary School, medium category; and a team comprised of the Early Learning Academy at Southridge and Child Nutrition Grill and Vending, small category.
