FCS is participating in the King Arthur - Bake for Good Program! They shipped us over 500 lbs of flour and supplies this week to prepare kits for our students.
Bake for Good is King Arthur Baking Company’s free outreach program for students in grades 4 -12. We have three goals: learn, bake, and share. Students learn to make bread from scratch at home using ingredients supplied by us. The recipe makes two loaves, one they keep and one that is shared with someone in need or as an act of kindness.
We assembled the kits today, and you can see the photos shared by Gracyn here. We will be distributing kits to Foods students next week and Culinary students in the coming weeks.
Congratulations to Chloe Cox, Braelyn Hayes, Mary Kerr, Shayla Parks and Gracyn Cook on passing the National Restaurant Association ServSafe Food Managers Certification Exam.
The next round of P-EBT benefits is scheduled to begin the week of March 15. Link for details: http://bit.ly/KyPEBT3
