The MCHS RISE department held its Winter Showcase today, offering healthy meal options made by the students.
The exercise teaches students about nutrition, smart shopping/keeping within a budget, and math skills necessary for reading recipes. The students went shopping earlier this week and then prepared their meals, which consisted of dishes like baked alfredo, baked spaghetti, sloppy joe lasagna, pizza and salads.
Teachers Ellie Steele and Amanda Carr say the goal is for students to practice the skills at school but then be able to take what they've learned home and cook the meals there.
