Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 60

This grant allowed our entire department to increase life skills. The students chose their own recipes, created shopping lists and then we went to Publix to shop. Seeing them navigate the store and decide between brands to stay in budget is a skill we are unable to teach in the classroom. When it was time to make their recipes, we had conversations about food safety, germs, cooking techniques, temperature, food quality, measurement and presentation. With the included pictures you can get a glimpse of the level of real world functional life skills gained. We cannot thank Lipman Family Farms enough for the continued support of the MC program at Immokalee High School.
