My Project
FACS education goes beyond traditional academic subjects by equipping students with practical skills they will utilize throughout their lives. In my classroom, I teach over 400 students, each school year, the fundamentals of cooking and sewing. These skills not only foster independence, but also promote healthy living and creativity.
Cooking, in particular, is an essential skill that empowers students to make nutritious meals for themselves and their families.
Learning to cook omelets serves as an introduction to basic cooking techniques such as sautéing, flipping, and seasoning. However, the quality of cookware significantly impacts the learning process.
Currently, our classroom is in dire need of new pans specifically designed for cooking omelets. The existing pans are worn out and do not distribute heat evenly, leading to frequent scorching and uneven cooking. This not only affects the quality of the students' omelets but also undermines their confidence in the kitchen.
By providing new pans, we can ensure that students have the necessary tools to master the art of omelet-making. These pans will enable them to practice proper cooking techniques and achieve consistent results. Moreover, investing in quality cookware demonstrates our commitment to providing the best possible learning experience for our students.
In addition to new pans, oven mitts are essential for ensuring student safety during cooking activities. Handling hot pans and trays without proper protection can lead to burns and accidents. Unfortunately, our current supply of oven mitts is inadequate and in poor condition.
Your generous donations will directly impact the learning experiences of over 400 middle school students each year. With new pans and oven mitts, students will have the opportunity to develop essential culinary skills and gain confidence in the kitchen. By investing in their education, you are empowering young chefs to become self-sufficient and creative individuals.
More than half of students from low‑income households
