Chefs in the
Classroom
The CHOW
(Cooking Healthy Options in Wisconsin) story: In the spring
of 2006, they approached WI Homegrown Lunch with their idea and a wonderful
collaboration was born! Tory and Eva taught their first class using fresh, local asparagus to 6th, 7th, and 8th graders in May 2006. Encouraged by the enthusiastic response from teachers and students alike, WHL worked with Tory and Eva to create a series of classes that all of Sherman's 7th graders participated in monthly through the 2006-07 school year. The recipe-based lessons were refined further and for the 2007-08 school year all Sherman 7th graders participated in what has become a regular part of the 7th grade experience at Sherman. See CHOW on TV and in the newspaper: Channel 3 visits Sherman Middle School to see what Chef Tory Miller is cooking up with the 7th graders, TV report from April 2008. |
