Pie Time in Plymouth

CONCORD -The New Hampshire Department of Education today released a new video, just in time for holiday baking: Pie Time at Plymouth Regional High School.

Commissioner Frank Edelblut joined Chef Florencia Mason and culinary students Jonathan Davis, Anna Ciechon, and Nathan Philbin to christen the Regional Career and Technical Education Center’s new kitchen classroom. They baked a trio of holiday pies using Edelblut’s family recipe for pâté sucrée, a sweet French pastry dough.

The video was produced and edited by Jocelyn LaClair, a student in Plymouth’s Media Arts program.

"We wanted to show off Plymouth's great new facility, but also give students a chance to work together across CTE programs," Edelblut said. "Career and Technical Education programs give students real-world skills and hands-on experience. Any day I get to be part of that learning experience is a great day. The pies helped."

"Having the Commissioner at the newly-renovated kitchen was an amazing experience. Collaborating with his team, as well as the Media Arts Class, to successfully complete this project was a fantastic way to showcase the talent of the PRHS students. We loved having the opportunity to produce such a fun segment for the Commissioner's YouTube Series," Mason added. "Great leaders don't just provide direction; they are also role models - our students had an excellent opportunity to work with great leadership."
