My Students

I am the family consumer science teacher and FCCLA coordinator at a small, rural school. I teach high school students who are eager to learn about careers. My students are future teachers, nurses, fashion designers, chefs, lawyers, managers, and bankers. They are learning skills such as sewing, cooking, money management, college prep, child development, and career prep.

My students are hard workers who strive to do their best.

I want to do everything I can to provide them with quality experiences that will prepare them for their future careers.

My Project

When you think back over your school years, you most likely don’t remember a really exciting worksheet that you did. You probably remember a fun project or activity that you bonded with your classmates over. This is one of those projects.

Let’s face it; this year has been tough.

Students, teachers, and parents are struggling to maintain some sort of normalcy in this whole pandemic.

I would love for my culinary students to be able to build gingerbread houses together. I feel this project would be something “good” they could remember about 2020. This will give the students the opportunity to practice their decorating skills while making memories with their classmates. They are a great group of hardworking students. Please consider supporting our team-building, memory making project for gingerbread houses.
