Gingerbread House Competition
A big thank you to all of the students who showed up on December 1st, 2024, and a special thanks to LOS for providing us with the gingerbread house making materials! Thank you to Tri-M Presidents Edward Park and Amiliyia Smith for organizing and making this event happen, as Media Managers Chloe Lin and Lewis Le for taking amazing pictures, and the Tri-M officers for judging the competition!
The competitors were graded in 4 categories: Aesthetics, Creativity, Engineering, and Workplace Neatness. In the end, 3 top houses were chosen and each of the group’s members were given a reward. The number 1 pick was built by a group made up of juniors- well done!
Happy Holidays!
