This week was the culinary culmination of the Ultimate Chicken Sandwich Contest! All three winning sandwiches hit the lunch menu in RPS 205 schools. The star creations from Andrew, Avery, and Liam were served up to students across the district. Special guest and Tyson rep Jake Wakefield even stopped by the cafeteria to help craft and hand out the winning sandwiches. Shoutout to our student chefs for bringing flavor and creativity to the table!
