My Project

Our elementary school is filled with budding chefs eager to explore the world of cooking and baking. The few cookbooks we do have are consistently checked out. To foster their culinary curiosity, I would love to add a collection of engaging cookbooks to our school library.

These cookbooks will not only provide students with exciting recipes but also promote essential skills such as reading, math, and teamwork.

These cookbooks will cover a range of cuisines, dietary preferences, and skill levels, ensuring that every young chef finds inspiration and guidance. From simple and healthy snacks to delicious desserts, these cookbooks will spark the students' interest in the culinary arts.

Equity Focus

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
