PICTURES AND REPORTS KINDNESS COMMITTEE SOUP AND BREAD Two members of the kindness committee worked with Mrs. Lamb and Mrs. Smith to prepare chicken vegetable soup and cornbread for new teacher, Ms. Meredith Vaughn. They wanted to be sure she felt welcomed into our school community. Next week these students, and two others will make another batch of soup and cornbread for members of the police department. After that, they plan do the same for members of the fire department. The students gained food prepping and cooking skills from two masters of the culinary arts in the family and consumer science kitchen. 10-21-2019. LINK TO 25 PICTURES Prepping the vegetables.
