Happy National Custodians' Day to the people who keep our schools clean and safe for students! Your hard work behind the scenes is so appreciated!🫧
Your hard work and unwavering commitment to providing us with a clean and safe environment do not go unnoticed. You are an integral part of our team, and we are grateful to have you.
Our Culinary 1 students had an awesome opportunity to visit Bear Butte Gardens and see sustainability and farm-to-table cooking in action!
Students learned how the farm incorporates sustainability into its daily practices, including using compost and manure to naturally feed and enrich their organic gardens. ♻️🌱
The best part? We got to head into the gardens and harvest our own fresh vegetables to use for lunch! Students turned what they gathered into fresh salsa and tacos for a true farm-to-table meal. 🌶️
We finished the day with a quick lesson on food preservation and canning, and students even got to make candied jalapeños to take the experience one step further!
Such a great opportunity for our students to connect what we are learning in the Culinary 1 classroom sustainability, food sourcing, food preparation, and preservation-to the real world.
A huge thank you to Bear Butte Gardens for welcoming us, sharing your knowledge, and giving our students such a fun, hands-on learning experience! 💚
