The Chili Cook Off will be held for parents, friends, and family of students and faculty from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Nov. 5.
Student and teacher teams from every grade, as well as sports and extracurricular clubs will each host a booth full of chili with all the fixings.
Other refreshments will be sold there as well, and entertainment from the dance team, cheer team and a local Tae Kwon Do center will round out the evening.
Those who want to attend can purchase tickets for$1 in advance, $2 at the door. Students can purchase tickets for themselves and guests during their lunches.
Everyone with a ticket gets plenty of tastes but just one vote, and the winning team earns bragging rights for the school year.
This year’s prizes at the cook off will go to the booths with the best chill, and the best decorated booth.
