My students need to learn functional skills to help them live independently. It takes them longer to learn, therefore, we start teaching functional skills at an early age and incorporate reading and math into this instruction. Unfortunately, we do not have the funding to provide everything they need. We have been fundraising by cooking and selling food to our staff so that we can take the city bus to local grocery stores to buy the ingredients we need to cook. We also use fundraising money to cook meals and invite our classroom families in to celebrate with us (e.g. Thanksgiving, Mom/Dad's Day, classroom staff retirement, etc.). My students love everything involved in their cooking instruction, from hopping on the city bus to serving the meals.

If we could get the supplies we need to cook and bake, it would help us earn more money for other field trips (e.g. holiday shopping, zoo, etc.) and to continue to invite our families to our school for family meals.

Please help us keep the Tasty Treats Kitchen open! Our kids love to cook and the families love to participate in family meals. The family meals have allowed the parents to network and develop friendships along with their kids. You could make the difference between Tasty Treats staying open and closing! Please consider helping us!

My students need items for cooking. We need take out containers (e.g. soup, sandwich, etc.), disposable utensils, serving trays, a double burner for cooking,gift cards for grocery stores, and other items/basic appliances (e.g. blender, hand mixer) for cooking/baking.
