The Great CHAH Bake Off


The smell of frosting and competition filled the air as students walked into the classroom with their inaugural bakes for the Great CHAH Bake Off.

How did we get here?

Ms. James hosts a daily lunch club where she allows students to decompress over snacks and games with their friends and classmates. During one of these sessions, the students suggested baking and somehow they got to the idea of a baking competition.

Ms. James drew inspiration from one of her passions: the Great British Bake Off. In order to celebrate the season, they collectively chose Halloween cupcakes. The judges, a combination of teachers and students, took their responsibilities very seriously and a great time was had by all.

This is what Ms. James hopes will become a tradition at CHAH, where students and staff can come together over a shared interest: baking and learning from one another.
