My Students

I have a wonderfully diverse population of students, many of them have adult-sized problems and super hectic lives that are hard to comprehend. I want to give these kids an opportunity to take time for their own purpose and stop worrying about their next class, does he or she like me, and all of the other environmental noise that they are faced with on a day-to-day basis. Kids need to learn how to cook simple and healthy meals.

My students need to be given basic tools and techniques to recognize that with a foundation of good nutrition and kitchen skills, they can lead more healthy and productive lives.

I believe that knowing what to eat and how to cook it are an essential part of a balanced and healthy life. The facts are out there, with so many people who rely on "fast" food to feed their families it is no wonder we have become an unhealthy nation. If kids are given basic knowledge of cooking methods and kitchen safety, I believe it will change their lives and the next generation for the better.

My Project

My students are eager and ready to learn in the kitchens, now I need safe tools for them to do so. I am in need of food processors to show students ways of getting healthy meals quickly and efficiently using tools that real chefs use.

I am in need of new knives for my students to learn proper knife techniques and get them on the path to making healthy choices in the kitchen with confidence.

My passion for getting kids in the kitchen is key to their success not only in my classroom but in all areas of life. Giving them the proper tools and teaching them the right way to use them will set them up for success!
