Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

As a CTE teacher, I have the opportunity to train students in a culinary career. By the time they leave high school, they are prepared to either continue their education in the field or move directly into the workforce.

It is such an inspiration to see the passion that these students are already developing.

My students have a desire to enter the Culinary and Hospitality field as chefs, food service managers, caterers, etc. They look forward to class and are actively involved in not just hands-on labs, but also in studying to earn the nationally recognized ServSafe certification. My students deserve the very highest quality of education and real-world learning available to them to help them succeed.

My Project

Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) is the Family and Consumer Sciences intracurricular student organization. We encourage our students to compete in our annual state competitions to learn leadership, teamwork, public speaking, and other valuable life skills.

I have 6 of the best-and-brightest culinary students ready to compete in the state culinary competition.

We will travel across the state to Charlotte, NC and stay overnight as the students prepare for their competition. We have a mix of boys and girls going, so we need 2 separate hotel rooms to stay in. In downtown Charlotte, this is pricey. The students are responsible for their own lodging costs, and this is a major burden for most of my kids' and their families. Without assistance, it may not be possible for them to attend the competition and bring home a gold medal for our school and district, and possibly move on to the National level of competition.
