CTE-Intro. Class

Parents and Students,
   Instead of a test for the family unit, students will be completing a family project. The Instructions and rubric have been e-mailed to both the student and parent if you have a working e-mail address on school file. If you do not have e-mail, you can also find the assignment on the class calendar as an attachment on January 30th. Projects will be due Friday February 15th.

Food and Nutrition I Class

Here is the link to the Muffin Recipe I used for the healthy muffins we had on Fitness Friday. I did cut the fat and sugar in half (only using 1/4 c. butter and 1/4 c. of brown sugar). I also used 1/2 c. ground up quick oatmeal instead of oat bran (because that is what I had on hand) and added a few choc. chips. I was able to get 18 muffins out of the batter (compared to the 12 it says). Enjoy!
