Students in Horizons Academy Complete Pretzel Rod Project for Valentine's Day

Posted on 02/11/2022

Students in the School District of Washington’s Horizons Academy recently completed a Valentine’s Day project by making chocolate covered pretzel rods made available for all District staff.

The pretzel rods were dipped in chocolate with a white chocolate drizzle and finished off with sprinkles. Each order was packaged in a valentine bag ready for gift giving.

Two options were available for staff, a bag of three pretzel rods for $3 or a bag of six pretzel rods for $5. A google form to order the pretzel rods was emailed to District staff.

Horizons Academy is a program housed at Four Rivers Career Center comprised of exceptional students working toward goals related to post-secondary paths.

As a part of the program for this project, students ran a small business just in time for Valentine's Day. The business provided students the opportunity to work on many skills ranging from taking orders, preparing items in a safe environment, packaging, delivery, and much more.

Horizons Academy instructor Stacey Siefken supervised the project.

A total of 150 orders were taken totaling approximately 700 pretzels. Students delivered the pretzels to 11 buildings within the District on Thursday, February 10.
