I teach approximately 200 seventh and eighth grade students Teen Living in a rural, low income community where over 2/3 of the student body receives free or reduced lunch benefits.
This grant would allow my students to combine business practices (running a small business) and restaurant techniques (menu planning, pricing, customer service, cooking, and food presentation) into a student ran “Class Café”. Without the requested equipment (The Art of Food Presentation DVD, a set of 3 serving trays, plastic serving gloves, and chef’s aprons) this project will not be possible. With this variety of equipment, experiencing running a small restaurant business will be an actuality. By using business techniques to reinforce the Teen Living concepts the students can relate practical hands-on lessons with their regular classroom environment. Being from a rural community most of the students and their families have limited funds and restaurant dining exposure. If they learn the techniques of presenting food in a “restaurant setting” they can take that knowledge and experience with them and apply it to their future job life during high school and beyond. Lessons that can be implemented utilizing your generous contribution include: Food-Borne Safety: In the Home and Restaurant Setting Food Presentation: Art and Science Menu Planning Foods Lab Marketing and Food Pricing Restaurant Management We need your help to make this vision possible. Your assistance with this project will ensure that my students make the connection between class work and real life. This will be accomplished by giving them a practical application for the standards being addressed in the classroom. HIDE My students need 1 "The Art of Food Presentation" DVD, a set of 3 serving trays, plastic gloves, and 30 chefs aprons. Mrs. M.'s Classroom:

"I gave to this project because...students need to have authentic experiences in school that prepare them for real life - and because I am a Family & Consumer Science teacher too. This is a creative, smart way of implementing our curriculum!"
