Better together! The Adult Living/Intro to Foods class is being offered through distance learning this year with students from Ashland-Greenwood. Each day, we get together via zoom and go through the lesson just like an in-person class! This semester we take on the kitchen in the Intro to Foods class with both school cooking. Take a look at what’s been happening in the FCS department! Great job to Ms. Richards & her students!
