The list of vendors includes Sunset Jewelry, Artsy Earrings, Rosey Bakes, Simple Sweets, Delicious Dough by Maddy, Caverly Crafts, Bits and Bobs by Jules, Creative Bee, Seth’s Wheat Bags, and many more.

Grassl explained the farmers market is one of many ways HRHS supports its students in whatever they do.

“I think Holy is really good at celebrating the gifts we’ve all been given, and I think this is another example

(of that),” she said.

“No matter where the kids fit in, what their strengths are, what gifts God gave them, they can use them and show the world, and be proud of what they do.”

Grade 12 student Rose Rusteika, who started her side hustle Rose Bakes two years ago, is excited to showcase her cupcakes and cake push-pops at the market.

“I think it’s a big opportunity and something a little different for our school,” said

Rusteika. “Being that I’m in Grade 12, too, I’m looking at culinary school, so this is a great opportunity.”

Rusteika, who originally got into baking after watching her mom as a youngster, also explained she started making glutenfree and vegan treats after several teachers started asking about them.

There will also be a concession on site with homemade specialty bread and chill from HRHS’s band teacher Aaron Sikora.
