We Need To Chill (Our Groceries)!

My students need an accessible refrigerator/freezer to keep the food fresh for our new culinary arts program.

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Hooray! This project is fully funded

I am incredibly fortunate to work with a group of fantastic high school students everyday. I look forward to seeing them come to school each morning full of excitement for the new day. These students are hard workers and happen to have developmental disabilities. They are eager to learn the skills necessary for their independence in the future.

During this past school year we developed a Life Skills Culinary Arts program that was approved by our school administration. The program will begin at the start of the 2009/2010 school year. My students will be cooking on a weekly basis, learning the importance of proper food preparation and nutrition. The students will also plan, prepare, and serve teachers and staff a quality meal for lunch once a month as part of a working cafe on campus. Although this program is approved by our administration, it is not fully-funded by our school or by the school district. My students will be raising the money for purchasing needed kitchen supplies and food. Currently our classroom has a 3.3 Cu. Ft. (dorm-size) refrigerator. This refrigerator is less than ideal for the proper storage of food for the Life Skills Culinary Arts program.

We are in need of a full size refrigerator that is accessible for all of my students. The LG 19.7 Cu.Ft. bottom-mount refrigerator will meet the needs of all my students. This bottom-mount refrigerator will provide ample storage room for organizing our groceries for the program. Since the freezer section is on the bottom all of my students including those in wheelchairs will be able to access the lower shelves of the refrigerator and the freezer.

My students need to have the ability to cook for themselves as well as learn the skills necessary for working in the food service industry. The Life Skills Culinary Arts program is a vital part of my students high school curriculum. Your donation to this project will help the open the doors to employment and independence for these hard working students.
