A small audience gathered in the hallway to listen to The Masuk Dreams, a group of students who like to sing, and others checked out an area featuring student photography. Many talents were full display at the Masuk Expo Tuesday.
Rebecca Kowalski, of Newtown, a Masuk alumna, looked at the photos. Her daughter Brittany, a Newtown High School freshman, takes a photography course at Masuk.
Kowalski's niece, Jessica Orzechowski, also had her work featured.
"Totally awesome," Kowalski said of the expo. "The kids are very creative."
Inside the cafeteria were displays of woodworking, art, computer graphics, robotics and culinary arts.
Sweet samplings of baked goods on one table attracted a steady line of people to taste it all.
"Today all of our advanced students made pastries, eclairs and mini lemon meringue pies," said Peggyann Diaz, a culinary arts teacher. "Other students made savory appetizers like egg rolls, pinadas and fritters."
Unlike cooking, baking leaves little margin for error.
"Baking is very precise," Diaz said. "If you take the premise of the techniques, you can experiment with different flavors, but you have to stay with the technique. There's a science to it."
