Food & Nutrition and Culinary Arts @ Riverbank High School

I am a Family Consumer Science Teacher (formerly known as Home Economics). I currently teach Food and Nutrition and Culinary Arts at a public high school in the Central Valley. My misson statement is to teach my students about food systems, an awarness of food and its connectedness to become better eaters through out thier lives. I strive to teach this by choosing local foods, planting and maintaining a garden, bringing in memebers in the community who are active in food justice, and teaching them to cook for themselves and thier families.

Joseph Sears School

The Joseph Sears School Outdoor Classroom provides students with an outdoor space for hands-on exploration, inquiry, discovery and garden-based learning in all grades K-8 in areas of practical arts, core subjects, social emotional, and health. Surrounded by native plants, butterfly and rain gardens, vegetable and herb beds, fruit bushes and trees, students develop an understanding and curiosity about the natural world. In addition during practical arts classes, students develop an understanding of where our food comes from with the farm-to-table concept - plant, harvest, eat (and enjoy!).

Youth Farm

At Youth Farm, we farm to grow. We grow food. We grow community. We grow leaders. We work in diverse neighborhoods across Minneapolis and St. Paul to utilize food as a catalyst for social change, for community engagement, for leadership development - Food is our tool to change the world. We farm to educate and train through gardens and greenhouses. We cultivate leadership through year round programming focused on planting, growing, preparing and distributing the food we grow.
