NEW! Cooking With Kathryn - Calling ALL Families!

Although we can't physically be together in classrooms this year for LifeSPAN, I will still be able to interact with your child virtually. Normally I would teach cooking lessons with the 4th and 5th graders, but as you know, things are a lot different this year. In place of cooking with them, I plan to have a live family cooking night once a month via Zoom. This is geared towards the 4th and 5th grade families, however ALL FAMILIES ARE WELCOME to join! The recipes will be simple ones that the whole family will love and that your older kids should be able to prepare themselves. Feel free to turn on your video during the call to interact and ask questions, or leave your sound and video off and watch like a cooking show.

Check out these thrifty recipes from the USDA for a tasty and affordable Thanksgiving!
