You will find new cooks behind the creations at Sonny’s Italian Kitchen and Pizzeria in Sturgeon Bay during Friday’s pizza buffet. The staff at Sonny’s Italian Kitchen will be instilling their decades of experience onto students from the Algoma Venture Academy. Starting last school year, the charter school takes students out of the classroom and into personalized community and entrepreneurial opportunities (I'm struggling with this sentence). This year alone students have built wayfinding signs and a wooden bike bridge at Snowkraft Nordic, grown lettuce for the Algoma Nourishing Our Wolves (N.O.W.) Garden Program, and developed a recipe board for a local grocery store. Sonny’s Italian Kitchen and Pizzeria General Manager Nolan Pashcke says Friday’s event will give the students a great look at the restaurant industry.

You will be able to enjoy their pizza while supporting the Algoma Venture Academy during the lunch buffet at Sonny’s from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Hear from students Maggie, Abigail, and Angelo with their teacher Abigail Robinson about the Algoma Venture Academy and their event at Sonny's Italian Kitchen on Friday.
