Not only did students enjoY the annual special dinners for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but there were also events like a Tailgate dinner and Valentine's Day meal.The Culinary Committee also held Fast for Food,a fund raiser for a local food pantry,raising awareness for the poverty surrounding Cedarville.
