My Students
The students I have the opportunity to work with are creative, innovative, enthusiastic young people who are known to thank their teachers every is glee day when they leave classrooms. There are over 1,100 students on campus in grades four through eight. The school has blossomed as the result of a visionary principal, active parent community, and thriving arts foundation. As a result, there is a lottery and waitlist for new enrollees.
This school is well known for its wide range of elective arts courses, passionate teachers, and inspired students.
Students have opportunities to take classes like Culinary, Theater, Dance, Film Studies, Ensemble, Encore, Keyboards, Concert Band, Orchestra, 3D Art, and Fine Art just to name a few. They can also get involved in a Community Action Team elective course or be a part of ASB, Media, or Yearbook. The students are noticeably vibrant and open-minded.
My Project
Though I have taught my students the basics in knife skills, the time for the prep work it takes for most recipes exceeds the time we have in class to complete a recipe. Food processors help speed up the process so that recipes can be completed.
With the use of only one food processor for a class that has an average size of 32 students, we are limited.
The students must take turns using the food processor. As a result, some groups can't finish their recipes because of the waiting game. More food processors would make our job more efficient.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
