On Thursday, students from Mrs. Krause’s class had a hands-on field trip to Nirchi’s Pizza on Front Street in Binghamton. Students learned how to make garlic knots, the process to make their pizzas, and how almost everything is homemade there. It was a wonderful experience, and we are grateful for this opportunity!
