After-school Cooking Club
Supporting 2 sessions: October 2018 & March 2019 – Boyne City Middle School, Boyne City, Michigan
Every week for 8 weeks, Fresh Baby will provide one of our nutrition education products to the After-school Cooking Club at Boyne City Middle School. At the first session this week, students received our Kid’s Comic Book Aprons, which they were stoked about!
The After-school Cooking Club is a collaboration between Fustini’s of Petoskey and the Rambler Wellness group, with the mission to introduce students to a homestyle kitchen, incorporating food safety, smart shopping, and nutrition instruction along the way. Every week a different course will be prepared culminating in a family-style dinner to be served to the student’s families the last night. This program is made available through the generous donation of time by Chef Jon Kirk of Fustini’s of Petoskey, BCMS teachers Greta Brock and Cindy Romero, and the Rambler Wellness group under the guidance by Sue McClosky, RN.
