With these funds I will purchase fresh produce and measuring tools.  Over a six week period, these young chefs will taste new ingredients, use measuring tools, compare fractions, double and reduce recipes, follow directions in a recipe and serve their final meals. There are two classes each week for six weeks(elementary and middle school).  Students will learn to prepare appetizers, breakfast, lunch and dinner menus that are healthy and fun! Our nation is promoting healthy living, so it is important to start with our youth who can learn to cook for themselves and their families.  Let's stop the 'take out' and frozen meal epidemic!

After the completion of the course, students will serve samples during lunchtime for the whole student body! 

Our free and reduce lunch percentage is over 60%.  Many students qualify for our Backpack Buddy program that provides enough food for the weekend.  

Our cooking classes have been full for two years straight!  

We have four teachers volunteer  each week to assist with our young chefs who work in partners.  The biggest expensive is fresh produce for students to use in recipes.  Each class uses $50-60 each week.  There are two classes per week for six weeks.
