Matthew Halton High School's kitchen was briefly transformed into Santa's Bakeshop over the second weekend of November. Students of CTS Foods Claire Johnson, Veronica Oczkowski, and Yea-nee Shin joined Kajsa Taylor-Reeves and Halton's own resident Elf, Yoda Taylor in preparing cookies for the Christmas season. "These are top bakers in their classes," said Yoda, who runs the schools food programs. Working with Taylor-Reeves of Taylor Made Events and Catering from Calgary, Alberta, this group created over 3,000 cookies, and 200 litres of nuts and bolts.

The students had fun creating a myriad of different cookie shapes. In the 1980s when Yoda was running Home Economics Food Studies courses in Halton, she had a desk and four small kitchen areas to work with. Now her area has full commercial kitchen facilities and a five-station food room. Her 'staff' feeds the student body out of the Hawks Nest Cafe, while learning menu planning, and a gets taste of business acumen by working out costs and pricing.
