Ms. Gilbert from Sandy Spring MD is requesting sports & exercise equipment through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Keep Our Student Chef's Safe (and Well Fed)

Help me give my students their own reusable plates that they can keep in their locker and use without sharing. I will purchase forks so they have their own in this time of stress with Coronavirus!

My Students

Students from more than 20 countries make up this FUN classroom! Not your ordinary class, my students are your future chefs! If you chose to help us, you will be helping the future leaders of restaurants worldwide!

We not only prepare food for ourselves but we also cater to functions in our school!

One of our favorites is pictured in our photo, Principals Holiday Party. Donors are welcome to come and visit and if we know ahead of time, lunch will be ready when you arrive!

My Project

With the scare of disease, it is time to stop sharing eating utensils. I will purchase forks, but need help with reusable plates, students can keep in their possession. The plates here are reusable and students will have their "own" so they know it is clean and no one else has eaten off of it. Plates will be able to be used for years to come and we won't have to repurchase paper plates over and over. Helps save the environment and keeps our students safe! Thank you for your help! IF you want to donate forks, spoons, gallon bags to keep them in, paper towels, dish soap or hand soap, we will take that too! I can even provide you a letter of donation!
