Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

In February, my Culinary Arts and Management Teams became Connecticut champions in the ProStart State Invitational competition! In this competition, students focus on preparing a three course meal with no running water or electricity. The management team creates a restaurant concept and business plan from the ground up. The students are responsible to create a restaurant and design the layout, the menu and the promotions. My culinary students are eager to learn and excel in the kitchen. My management students are future business owners and shine in the spotlight.

My students look forward to a career in the restaurant industry.

But first, my students are headed to Washington, D.C. to compete in the National ProStart Competition. My students are excited to compete the Nationals and dream of finishing in the top 5 states!

My Project

My students have spent countless hours practicing for their competition. The culinary team has created numerous recipes and cooked their dishes so many times, that the recipes are now memorized. The management team has created a restaurant from the ground up, including a business plan, a floor plan, and a menu.

Over the past few months, my students have been shown so much growth in their culinary and management skills.

My students will be competing at Nationals in Washington, D.C., and are in need of professional uniforms. Unfortunately, my school district does not have funding for my program and my students can not compete without the correct attire.

My students are so excited to compete against students from across the country. I know my students will shine at Nationals!
