Recently, we snuck into Parent’s Night and were amazed to see so many Mission High parents in attendance. Parents are busy, so we salute those who show up to support their kids. I was SO honored when a man approached me, grinning and taking my hands in his, “My daughter says you are great teachers!” Wow, I assumed she must be a long-time student of ours. Nope, his daughter is Gloria, who had taken only one of our classes before Parent’s Night.
We’re pleased to know we can make such an impact in such a short amount of time. What’s our secret? The not too boring nutrition lessons? Maybe. Delicious healthy food the kids learn to prepare themselves? Absolutely.
Special thanks to our return students and Peer Leaders, who helped prepare food for Parents’ Night. I set them up with cutting boards and ingredients, then had to run around finding buttermilk for our Healthy Ranch Dressing. When I returned, 20 minutes later, all the veggies were sliced, the dips were made, and the kids were in final stages of seasoning the Ranch. We’re turning out some stellar prep cooks!
