Because of you, our FACS classroom has been transformed into a space where students can learn, practice, and take pride in real life skills that will stay with them far beyond middle school.\r\n\r\nYour donations of new aprons, towels, dish racks, and cookware are already being put to daily use. Students are cooking more independently and confidently, learning proper kitchen safety, and practicing responsibility through cleaning and organization. One of the most meaningful moments was watching students suit up in their new aprons for the first time and immediately take ownership of their workspace. It shifted their mindset from just another class to feeling like real chefs at work.\r\n\r\nThe excitement was instant. Students were eager to touch, explore, and use the new materials, and many commented on how professional the kitchen now feels. For some students, this is the first time they have ever used quality cookware or learned how to properly care for kitchen tools. That alone has sparked new interest and engagement across the classroom.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, our current lessons are focused on meal preparation, teamwork, and cleanup routines that mirror real world kitchens. Next, students will build on these skills by planning simple meals, practicing knife safety, and learning how to work efficiently in groups. These lessons help develop confidence, independence, and life skills they will use at home and in the future.\r\n\r\nBy supporting this project, you gave our students more than supplies. You gave them confidence, pride in their work, and a glimpse into what they are capable of achieving. Thank you for investing in our classroom and in the future of these young chefs.","fullyFundedDate":1764005410371,"projectUrl":"project/future-chefs-in-action-cooking-up-skil/9876536/","projectTitle":"Future Chefs in Action: Cooking Up Skills for Life","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Movassaghi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9910394"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_80261","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":565,"numTeachers":56,"percentFrplEligible":42,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":51,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":32,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":7,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"10.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":65.0,"schoolId":80261,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Fairgrounds Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Fairgrounds Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-hampshire/school-administrative-unit-42/fairgrounds-middle-school/80261"}
