My Project

We have expanded our culinary program to run 14 classes a day and have competed at FCCLA and Skills USA! Help us update our space to reward students for their hard work!

This list will provide our space with a bright atmosphere and will help me create a student center in our culinary classroom where students can get information regarding school activities, tutoring opportunities, and events.

The storage systems will be used at the student center to help students access basic materials that they need along with a new turn in system to help paperwork stay organized. The alternative lights will provide a welcoming ambiance. We would like new aprons and hooks to help us keep up with laundry throughout the day and color code kitchens to help students stay organized.

These students are amazing and work so hard. Please help us reach our goal to provide students with a welcoming environment that is functional and supports student growth.
