Every year, David Caccamise’s junior and senior Culinary Arts/Hospitality Arts students at LoGuidice Educational Center have a festive competition around the holiday season, where they try constructing the best gingerbread house possible. And despite the fact 2020 isn’t a normal year, the show must go on, and the gingerbread houses must be built.
This year, in many other ways, is different for the class though. While Caccamise encourages his students to maximize their creativity, restrictions on his class forced him to reconsider his normal methods.
“Half class the class meets Mondays and Tuesdays, we go totally remote Wednesday, and then Thursday and Friday I have the other kids,” Caccamise said. “I only have them twice a week as opposed to five. It makes it tough, becauses once they get rolling with ideas, I don’t see them for five days.”
