Chili Cook-Off

Sea Cliff Elementary School Chili Cook-Off Contest

The Sea Cliff Nutrition Committee is sponsoring a chili recipe contest. Our goal is to provide our food service with healthy and delicious alternatives to some of our current menu selections. The winning recipe will be named after the family submitting the recipe and featured on the lunch menu for a one month trial period. Please email your recipe and entry form to Denise Rieger at HYPERLINK "mailto:rieger@optonline.net" rieger@optonline.net by Monday, April 12th .

When: Wednesday, April 14 at 6:30 pm

Where: Sea Cliff School Cafeteria—after Dr. Melnick’s scheduled budget presentation

Judging: Entries will be judged, anonymously, by Sea Cliff students.
