March 8, 2010: The 3-member,
culinary team consisting of Marissa Harrell, Michelle DiMaggio, and Erik
McAskill recently wowed the judges in a
ProStart competition! Although they did not place in the top
three, their teacher, Zarah Matsuda, has never been so impressed with a
team as she was with these three. “Their team work, speed, skill,
and professionalism absolutely blew my mind”. The judges used the
word ‘perfect’ at least six times, with regards to the menu and packet
this team presented. The management team, consisting of Jessica
Warren, Danielle Miller, Anderson Tran, and Danyelle Loucks also did
very well and received great feedback from the judges.
