Students in Foods Classes at Carver High School Take Behind-the-Scenes Tour of CiCi's Pizza

On Thursday, students in Shonticia Loftin’s Foods classes at Carver High School took a behind-the-scenes tour of CiCi’s Pizza on Reynolda Road.

“They did a really, really good job,” Loftin said.

“Students met the store manager (Mr. Shannon) and the shift manager (Ms. Ginger) and asked questions,” she said. “Some questions included: ‘What happens to the food at night?’ ‘Is it donated to homeless shelters?’ ‘What determines the amount of pizza you make?’ ‘How many pounds of ingredients do you average a day?’ All questions reflected objectives discussed in class.”

While they were touring the restaurant’s kitchen, they learned more about such topics as sanitation procedures and reading food labels. They learned about making pizza dough and then made their own personal pan pizzas.

“Then they had the opportunity to enjoy the buffet,” Loftin said.

Thirty-eight students participated.  

 “They represented Carver really well,” she said. “Students displayed superior Carver Nation Pride and exuded dynamic behavior and mannerisms! We had a fabulous time!”
