Cookbook for Community

In early September.7th-8th Grade Home Economics students focus on community needs, particularly families in transition. Students chose a service to the community and the need for food in the face of coming holidays. The original idea to write and sell a cookbook to raise money for a local shelter can quickly branch into something bigger! They created a cookbook of favorite recipes from home and classroom. They wrote, edited, designed covers, printed and bound the cookbook. The book was marketed in the district office and the school office. We also advertised it in the local and school papers and announced it on the school marquee. The local mall allowed us to sell them at a courtesy gift wrap/canned food drive fundraiser we held before Christmas break. All proceeds from these endeavors when directly to the shelter.
