My Project

I absolutely love the passion, creativity, and growth I see in my culinary students everyday. They come to class eager to learn, ready to try new techniques, and excited to express themselves through food. These students are developing real-world skills that will serve them beyond the classroom.

The posters requested will continue to enrich my students minds each year and will allow my students to use them as a resource to help review for their assessments.

The stationary supplies will be used to help them complete assignments and the snacks are good classroom motivators to help my students stay energized through lectures. My goal for this project is to help build a loving classroom community. When it comes to my students they are 1 of 1. Your support will give them the ingredients they need to succeed!
