Students in the pre-kindergarten class of Jennifer Zanella and Jennifer Fresella at Hilltop Country Day School in Sparta make holiday treats with Anna Levien, pastry chef and owner of the local Young Chef Academy franchise, and pre-kindergarten parent. Pictured with Levien are, from left, John Hunter Zoetjes, Sophie Venus, Mitchell Harris, Olivia Altman, Felix Umland, Lauren Neufeld, and Simon Levien. Visits from people from different professions, give Hilltop students hands-on opportunities to enhance their self-esteem and self-confidence, learn to accept responsibility and meet personal challenges.
