Lackland HS and ALE Students Cook Together

Lackland ISD proudly wrote in their newsletter about Lackland High School. Currently, Lackland High School administers a class called Family and Community Service. The teacher, Mrs. Duron, assigned her students to plan and implement a community service project. Two of her students, named Ty’Jeria and Johnna, decided to create a “cooking club” for ALE students.

ALE students are part of a program known as the Alternative Learning Environment. This program is designed to aid students with cognitive deficits who require a structured, small-group environment.

On two separate Thursdays, the ALE students came to the high school kitchen to participate in the cooking class. On the first Thursday, the students learned to prepare a fruit parfait with yogurt, strawberries, blueberries, and granola. Then, on the second Thursday, the students made microwave mac and cheese. The ALE students were very delighted to be able to experience the first ever cooking class. The two students, Ty’Jeria and Johnna, were very happy to create a project that made everyone learn and have fun!
