Lawton, Oklahoma – Lawton\r\nPublic Schools 5th Grader Julissa Rocha from Pioneer Park is one of five\r\nstudents to make it to the National level of the Future Chef competition. Her Asian Chicken Lettuce Wrap & Tofu\r\nCaprese Skewers recipe was selected from over 2,600 student entries from across\r\nthe nation.

\r\n

“Things like chicken wraps and tomatoes are a\r\nfavorite of mine and this recipe has things I like and want to eat,” said Rocha.\r\n“It’s a simple, healthy and yummy recipe!”

\r\n

Rocha\r\ncan take home the national title, but this cannot happen without the support of\r\nher friends, family and community at large.

“When\r\nmy dad told me that I was a finalist,” said Rocha, “I was really happy.”

\r\n
