My Project

I teach 200 students one of the most important life skills that they will use for the rest of their lives.... cooking.

I have had students tell me that the only reason they came to school that day was because they knew we were having a cooking lab and didn't want to miss that opportunity.

That is a pretty powerful statement to hear as a teacher.

However, having 200 teenagers cooking in one day is a messy job. All Laundry Detergent, Bounce Dryer sheets, and Dawn Power Wash would make it so much easier to keep our 5 kitchens clean. Your kindness and generosity would also help us stretch our grocery budget and be able to learn how to cook even more things.
