The Woodstock Elementary staff held their annual Relay for Life Chili Cook-Off Contest recently. The cooks who prepared the delectable dishes up for tasting this year were (left to right) Lauren Russell, Theresa Holloran, Stephanie Wyman (winner of the cook-off), Susan Tucker and Amy Hedrick, principal.

The cook-off contest has been a tradition at the school for the past several years. For a $5 contribution to the school’s Relay for Life Team, staff members could sample the five different pots of “chili,” vote for their favorite, then enjoy a full bowl for lunch along with the toppings. The winning pot wasn’t exactly a chili. Chicken and dumplings was the top vote-getter based on staff votes. A total of $200 was raised for “Granny’s Angels”, the school’s Relay for Life Team, named after a beloved staff member who lost her battle with cancer.
