WJ teachers and staff members who do not teach a first or second period were welcomed by the Food Trends students and teacher Connie Pokress to taste test the annual chocolate dessert competition. Students created a variety of different chocolate based dishes such as cupcakes, brownies and cakes. “[The desserts] are all good, some are better than others but they all did a great job,” security guard Roy Joyner commented.
