Our victorious senior Kevin Carter competed in table bussing and setting, folding tee shirts and towels, and writing job applications. Kevin placed third in Job Applications and placed first in Bussing Tables and Setting. Great job, Kevin! Kevin Carter enjoys Table Bussing and Setting Tables the most of all of the skills. This skill prepares students for a job in food service. Kevin has been doing the Job Olympics for a total of three years now.
