Dear Stout-Smith Summer Program Students and Families,
We’re excited to announce a Food Truck Contest happening this week in our Stout Summer Program! Students are invited to create a unique and creative food truck concept, complete with a catchy name, a well-designed menu, and a visually appealing display. We encourage students to use their imagination and artistic talents to bring their food truck ideas to life!
All entries are due by Friday, July 11, 2025. Students should turn in their entries to their 1st hour teachers.
Then, we warmly invite all parents and families to join us on Friday, July 11 at 2:30 PM to view the amazing food truck entries and celebrate the hard work and creativity of our students. The first place winner will be announce in the cafeteria at this time and that student will receive a prize for their Food Truck design. Nada Keaik, the owner and creator of Keaik’s Food Truck, will judge student’s projects and name the Stout Food Truck Champion.
Following the contest showcase, stay to enjoy a fun Ice Cream Social with us!
We can’t wait to see the creative ideas our students come up with and look forward to seeing you there for a sweet summer celebration!
