Pumpkin Whoopie Pies
This holiday season, we are excited to share a recipe from IRHS Culinary Arts teacher , Chef Gowan. In previous years, we’ve shared some of Chef Gowen’s favorite recipes, including her delicious Pumpkin Roll for the fall season, which is an IQ staff favorite. Baking can be a meaningful way to enjoy time with friends and family, or even a relaxing way to spend time on your own. We hope you give this a try, and enjoy holidays with these recipes.
House Bill 2484
Governor Hobbs’ H.B. 2484 limits student phone use in schools, aiming to reduce distractions and boost focus. Teachers generally credit the resulting strict policies with improving classroom productivity and student engagement. However, critics argue the rigid ban hampers essential communication with family and is an overly broad solution that unfairly targets well-behaved students.
