Cooking Basics

Peter Hoh

  • ages 14–19 years

I believe that everyone should know how to put together a meal that’s healthy, delicious, and relatively inexpensive. This course will introduce students to some of the fundamental skills of cooking. We’ll cover food safety, knife skills, pantry staples, basic sauces, sautéing, roasting, and steaming.

What is Adulting?

Theresa Redfern-Hall

  • ages 14–19 years

Get ready, set, go! You turn 18 and on the morning of your birthday, you wake up with all the knowledge that it takes to operate in the world as an adult. Sounds wonderful, doesn’t it? If only it were so easy!

So, how do you figure out all those things that adults know? Well, there are several ways to learn the information. A few of the ways include learning things the really hard way. While that type of learning makes a big impression, let’s see if we can’t find some other ways to figure things out.

Having watched my kids and their friends learn to adult, I’ve noticed some themes that continue to come up. We will start with the basics and move from there. Student suggestions/questions will be incorporated into the class.

Topics that we will cover include decision-making, increased responsibility, finances and budgeting, goal setting, interviewing skills, college, trades, transportation, insurance, and navigating relationships with parents, siblings, friends, and others.
