Attention Parents/Guardians of 6B students:
We will be doing "How To" demonstrations next week. Several of the students have expressed interest in doing food items (cupcakes, cookies, etc) They each need a visual aid for their presentations. The students doing food want to bring in samples. I have researched food allergies and made restrictions. NO student is required to taste anything. I will not deduct points from anyone for not trying food items- no one's grade will be based on eating samples. Please email me if you absolutely do not want your child tasting "How To" items. Thank you for allowing us to do "hands on"/language arts projects.
