Cooking Class Spring 2019

Our HS, EHS and Partnership parents and family members participated in the six-week Cooking Matters course.  This program helps parents and caregivers, struggling with limited food budgets, learn how to shop for and cook healthy, affordable meals.  After the parents learned about healthy eating and cooking, they participated in cooking healthy dishes during each session and were able to take the ingredients home to fix the dish in the privacy of their own homes.
