We learned about their sculpture, how they loved vegetables even in their king cakes, and delivered our canned goods surprise.

Riley and Grant from Haughton Middle School, home of the Buccaneers, schooled Cares Krewe in the 'fire' vs. 'cringe' game. Here's how it went: Sweet peas= fire Green beans= fire Chicken noodle soup= fire and cringe Riley and Grant shared how excited they were to partake in the upcoming competition and expo. 'Going to the competition. Competition and building and seeing all the other builds and everything,' said Riley about his favorite thing about the project.
