My students are from everywhere and need books that represent their interests.
I am the Teacher Librarian for a near inner city high school (grades 9-12) located just outside the city limits of a major city in Washington State.
The school campus consists of 3 fully autonomous small schools of approximately 275-350 students each. Each school had a particular emphasis to better meet future career goals. While this is a terrific opportunity for the students, it does present challenges to areas like the library that are shared services. We have a very diverse student body with a high poverty level. Approximately 180 of the students are not native English speakers and approximately 100 students are Special Education students with a wide range of disabilities (enrolled in the 3 small schools). We also have a Free and Reduced-price lunch rate of over 70%.
My Project
Currently, we have no cooking classes taught on campus, yet there are students who really want to learn about cooking, about nutrition, and about careers in food services. Many of these students have parents that work shifts that do not allow them to learn cooking as I learned it – at my mother’s side. By feeding the foodie spirit in these students, you may help create the next Jamie Oliver or Marcus Samuelsson. Or perhaps just let them become lost in a great novel that has cooking at its core.
Foodies need to be fed - great cookbooks, memoirs, graphic novels, and great fiction about cooking.
Books like Jamie's Food Revolution, How to Cook in 10 Easy Lessons, and Make it <essy will satisfy their hunger. But only with your help!
