Because of you, our students now have access to a KitchenAid mixer that has already become an essential part of our culinary lab activities. Students are using the mixer to prepare doughs, batters, and sauces while learning proper kitchen safety, measuring techniques, and teamwork. One of the most exciting moments was watching students take turns operating the mixer for the first time—many had never used professional-quality equipment before and were amazed to see how it transformed their ingredients.\r\n\r\nWhen the mixer arrived, the students were thrilled and immediately eager to put it to use. There was a sense of pride and excitement knowing that someone believed in their learning enough to invest in real culinary tools. The mixer has helped build confidence, especially for students who learn best through hands-on experiences, and it has elevated our labs to feel more like a real kitchen environment.\r\n\r\nNext, students will continue using the mixer as we move into more advanced culinary lessons, including yeast breads and recipe modifications. These activities help connect classroom learning to real-world career pathways in food service and hospitality. Thank you for giving our students this opportunity to learn, grow, and feel supported—you truly made a difference in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1758856729481,"projectUrl":"project/mixing-it-up-in-the-kitchen/9397284/","projectTitle":"Mixing it Up in the Kitchen","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. E.
