Judging a High School Teacher Pie Contest!

Me and Anne Maslanik
Anne Maslanik helps boost morale amongst the faculty at Rangeview High School in Aurora, Colorado. A few weeks ago, she asked me if I’d come judge a faculty pie contest. I’m not one to turn down FREE pie, so I of course said “Yes!”
This morning, I was very excited to meet my fellow judges who are current Rangeview students.

Of course, we needed the necessary gear: score sheets, tablets, plates, plasticware, napkins, aprons . . . and ribbons!
