![From left to right freshman Julianna McDonald, junior Sophia Verma, freshman Marissa Mendoza and sophomores Melody and Marissa Wong stand together, each grabbing a piece of dough to mold. After senior Eileen Kaewapresert made the pasta dough, the rest of the students got to create the shapes of their choice. “At first, this was only a small group to bond with two special needs students, Melody and Marissa [Wong], because they already had an interest in cooking,” Kaewprasert said.](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/18CCCDA2-968D-4E23-8DD9-E1C0F29F7BCE_1_201_a-900x600.jpeg)
