Morenci Middle/High School

🍽️🔥 Masterchef in the Making! 🔥🍽️ Mrs. Grondin's 8th-grade students took on a Masterchef Challenge in class! 👨‍🍳👩‍🍳 In small groups, they planned a meal, created a grocery list, and brought their dish to life in the cooking lab. 🍕🥪🍝 From spaghetti and chicken alfredo to French toast, grilled cheese, pizza, pasta bake, and more, the kitchen was full of delicious creations! 😋 This hands-on activity helped students learn how to plan a menu within a budget and gain valuable cooking skills. A special thank you to the LCEF grant for making this amazing project possible! 🙏👏 Great job, future chefs! 👏🔥 #BulldogMasterchef #CookingChallenge #FutureChefs #HandsOnLearning #LCEFGrant #morencibulldogs
