The following young ladies participated in the first "Fun Afternoon Cooking School" or FACS. As a Family and Consumer Science Educator, I was approached and asked if I would be interested in having an afternoon cooking school for young children. After much thought, praying and planning, I approached the "older" students in this photo to see if they would be interested in teaching younger students how to cook. 
The teenagers in this group are extraordinary young ladies. They stayed afterschool on several occasions to make a cookbook for the younger girls to take home, made certificates, set up the kitchens for the cooking labs and then worked with each young cooking student to prepare a meal.
Upon arrival, each girl was given an apron that had been monogramed with FACS and FCCLA. FCCLA(Family, Career, Community Leaders of America) is the student organization I advise. Each participant was paired with a high school student. They were taught how to properly wash their hands when preparing food, how to chop, measure, use the range, oven, microwave, properly set a table, manners and clean-up.
The Menu:
Tossed Salad
Spaghetti with Meat Sauce
Garlic Bread
Chocolate covered Strawberries
Sweet Tea/Water
Everyone had fun! The cooking school was a success!
Look at those strawberries, they were yummy!
Yes, Mom, they know how to wash dishes!
Look at the concentration. You can tell they were having a good time.
Thanks for stopping by.
