This semester students will learn the basics in preparing to live on their own; relationships and communication, safe meal preparation, the food guide pyramid, clothing care, both hand and machine sewing, and money management. Students are required to have a section in their 3-ring binder to save all class work. There is a $10.00 class fee to pay for cooking labs and sewing project supplies. Please make checks payable to BEHS and turn in to main office by February 15, 2005.
Supplies needed: 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. These supplies
need to be at school by February 15, 2005.
