Wessels received a plaque and a $1,000 scholarship from Nancy Chappell, an OCM BOCES Adult Education dental assisting instructor who co-founded "Two Chefs from Above," a nonprofit created after her son, Stephen, and another young man were killed in 2018 during a robbery while they were working at a Chili's restaurant in DeWitt. "Mallory is a highly focused and mature student with a real talent and desire for baking and pastry arts," Canorro said. Mallory plans to attend Canorro's alma mater, the prestigious Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park. |
