Last night these Hawk Place students enjoyed cooking with one of our Central Lee alumni Guest Chefs, Kelley Jackson Davis. Kelley has been a monthly guest chef and the students really enjoy her visits. She is a natural in the kitchen and with the kids. We appreciate the giving of her time along with her mother, Yvonne Jackson, who accompanies her and shares wonderful pictures of the progress from instruction, preparing, eating and cleanup. The following pictures were taking last night with the students enjoying the high school new plaza area. Thank you to these ladies and all our guest chefs that have given time for the students.

Hawk Place students celebrated yet another 100th birthday of Evelyn Pierce at the Montrose Care Center. The students presented the guest of honor with gifts they made adding a 100 pom poms on individual items. Gifts included a birthday hat, the letter E decor for her room and a wreath to hang on her door, as well as Happy Birthday cards. As they sang Happy Birthday they held up Happy Birthday pictures of the students cooperating together to make the letters with their bodies. The party concluded with cupcakes for all. Thank you Montrose Health Center for having us.

Look a these smiles! Hawk Place visits to YMCA Test Kitchen not only satisfy the palate but give the sense of achievement of making something delicious by themselves. Many of our students take what they learn back home to their own table. Making a meal for their family makes this a win win.
