. . . fall programming is in full swing at the Maria Kaupas Center?
The MKC is proud to offer a variety of activities to Catalyst-Maria students beginning in 3rd grade, and over the next few weeks,
we will be sharing with you a sampling of each program.
This week, we take a look at one of the two cooking classes we offer, a
ninth grade cooking class with volunteer instructor Mary Prete. It’s called
Prete-y Good Food!
The nine boys and girls in this program have immersed themselves in a fast-paced, challenging cooking experience where they have learned to make pancakes, omelets, homemade spaghetti and lots more.
Each class culminates with a shared meal where everyone sits down at table and enjoys delicious food they helped prepare. In this way,
skills are learned,
palates are broadened,
friendships are made, and
community is created.
The highlight of the class comes on October 20th when these accomplished chefs will prepare and
host a meal for their families, right here at the MKC.
Afterwards, program graduates will receive their very own monogrammed aprons
so they can continue their culinary adventures at home.
The Maria Kaupas Center is deeply grateful to volunteer
Mary Prete
who has selflessly shared her
dynamic energy and culinary flair
with ninth graders at the MKC.
