West Columbia, SC 11/01/2022 – Busbee Inventive Arts Academy has a bountiful backyard, with a latest harvest that included about 75 kilos of candy potatoes.
What to do with that many candy potatoes? Effectively, have a pie contest, after all.
Every of Busbee’s 20 homerooms got here up with their very own candy potato pies recipes, which have been tasted and judged by a panel that included college and neighborhood members and college students from the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades.
The profitable pie was made by Amy Bolin’s class, baked from a household recipe shared by tutorial assistant Annette Johnson. The category was awarded a golden bedazzled spatula, which they may take pleasure in till subsequent yr’s contest.
Media specialist Lisa Fisher, who organized this yr’s pie contest and works within the college backyard, stated it’s an important hands-on lesson for college kids, who can comply with their meals from farm – or, on this case backyard – to desk.
