KINDNESS KREW
The St. Albans Police Department were the beneficiaries of cooking done by the Kindness Krew on Monday, 11-18-2019. Under the directions of Mrs. Lamb and Mrs. Smith, the students assembled a tasty chicken noodle soup and a chocolate chip cookie dessert. Along the way, they improved their knife handling, measuring and simmering skills. They also gained experience handling a variety of foods and food processing equipment. Life skills were learned in return for doing something nice for other people.  LINK TO 23 PICTURES
