Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

During our virtual learning experience, we were able to take advantage of the resources at home and get into the kitchen. My students were very eager and loved being hands-on creating healthy dishes. As the excitement of being in the kitchen creating their own dishes has rolled over to in-person learning, we want to continue providing our students with those kitchen experiences. With the materials listed, we will be able to safely store food, supplies and utensils. Healthy snacks are essential and must be stored properly. The refrigerator requested will allow us to keep food/water (for healthy dishes) cool.
