If you pass by Mrs. Inboden’s classes you’ll see flour, and cookie dough everywhere. That’s because as of Wednesday, August 31, her classes have sold 841 cookies.

This is the highest number of cookies we’ve ever sold. The classes selling cookies are NCA1, NCA2, and Intro to Family and Consumer Sciences. Intro to Family and Consumer Science has currently sold the most; it is also the largest class Mrs. Inboden has. 

The prices of the cookies have changed over the years. Myrna McNair started the tradition before she retired in 1992, and the senior class were the only ones to sell cookies then. They sold them for about a dollar a piece. Linda Ryan-Catt continued the tradition and sold them for five dollars a cookie. The largest amount of cookies she sold was 600 at the time. Jamie Goff then continued after Mrs. Ryan-Catt retired. Ms. Goff sold them for five dollars a piece, carrying on the price from Mrs. Ryan-Catt. Ms. Cutright (with help from Mrs. Hyde) then took it over for a year until Mrs. Inboden was hired full time. After that, the tradition was given back to the class Family and Consumer Sciences. 

Mrs. Inboden made some changes to the size, ingredients, and pricing of the cookies. Butavan is no longer used, and they changed one more ingredient. The size was decreased, along with the price. One cookie is three dollars, two are five dollars, and twelve are twenty-five dollars. Last year a record 825 cookies were sold, but this year we’re already at 855.

The money is used to take the food class on a field trip to a fine dining restaurant. So far they have been to J. Ford’s in Terre Haute, Coco’s in Lawrenceville, and JB’s in Robinson.
