This Labor Day, we're pausing to say thank you โ€” to the workers whose hands, hearts, and hard work have built this nation's strength and prosperity.

From the classroom to the clinic, from first responders to skilled tradespeople, American labor has shaped who we are and lifted us all up.

Enjoy the well-deserved rest!

On July 8, our Culinary Arts students hosted a special lunch buffet for CCDC faculty and staff โ€” planning, preparing, and serving every dish themselves under the guidance of Chef Noree Hatheway and Chef John Oravec.

From prep to plate, our students brought their training to life, and everyone who stopped by could taste the hard work and care behind each dish. Thank you to our talented students and dedicated chef instructors for a wonderful (and so delicious!) day.๐Ÿ˜Š
