Students at Parkland High School will host area Senior Citizens for dinner followed by a show.

 

A different kind of senior will be eating in Parkland High School's cafeteria tonight. The first of two holiday dinners for Senior Citizens will begin at 5:30, followed by a concert performance at 7 from the freshman and sophomore bands.

A special treat will be featured tonight from students taking a Family and Consumer Sciences unit on advanced baking. These students recently competed in a Cupcake Wars-style competition, modeled after the popular Food Network show.
