All of the students involved created a very professional environment and demonstrated great pride in their trade.
The following students all contributed to the fair: Angelica Aponte, Jamesha Brown, Juwan GortonPaul Cooper, Atallah Greene, Robyn Hartz, Keenan Little, Jessica Miguel-Santos, Monica Scott, Malikah Adams, plus several Culinary students.
