What better way to celebrate Thanksgiving than finding out just how to make the stuffing for ol’ Tom Turkey? In preparation for their Thanksgiving feast, at which parents and members of the school’s administration join in, students from the Canfield Village Middle School classes of Jen Hartman and Kate Fitzgerald visited the grocery store, enjoyed a stuffing preparation demonstration by Tony Olin, owner of Ange Netta’s Cafe and Catering, and finally, sat down to a yummy meal of their own.

Generously sharing a tried and true family stuffing recipe, Tony Olin, who, along with his wife Phyllis, owners of Ange Netta’s Cafe and Catering, offered Canfield Village Middle School students a hands-on demonstration of how to prepare his own savory stuffing during a special field trip in time for Thanksgiving.
Under the direction of Tony Olin, Thomas Beck, Robert Nottingham, and Adrian Sadlak jumped right into the food prep, tearing bread for the stuffing. The many hands of more than 20 sous chefs made for a tasty treat. The fruits of their labor later made it back to the school, where it was taste-tested by all.
Choosing their own menu items and paying for their own meals was just one more goal the incorporated into the students’ day. CVMS student Alexis Ghent enjoyed her lunch in the company of teacher Kate Fitzgerald.
