Christian Johnson, 6th Grade, The Linden SDA School

I enjoyed the tour of the new Raising Canes in Laurelton. It was the first time I visited the restaurant. The staff was so nice and let us sample the food as reporters. The food had SOOOOOOO much flavor and I really liked the toast and the chicken with the Cane’s Sauce. We should encourage students to read more and learn to code and receiving a gift certificate for accomplishing this would be great!

The food at Raising Canes was good and my favorite part was the toast. We should encourage students to read more and the Raising Canes certificate is a great opportunity.
