This semester students will learn the basics in safe food preparation, the food guide pyramid, and both hand and machine sewing. Students are required to have a section in their 3-ring binder to save all class work. There is a $20.00 class fee to pay for the food handler’s permit, cooking labs, and sewing project kits. Please make checks payable to BEHS and turn in to main office by September 17, 2004. Students need to bring their own sewing supplies in a ziploc bag; scissors (I can engrave scissors so they are not so easily lost), seam ripper, package of 4 sewing machine needles size 11 or 14, straight pins, and spools of black and white thread. Scholarships are available for the class fee and the sewing equipment. Please let me know if you need one.
FCCLA club (Families, Careers, and Community Leaders of America) is the student leadership organization that meets once a month to learn about careers and plan service projects to improve self, family, school, and community.
