🍴🌍 Uncommon Junior Chef Adventures: A Taste of Ireland! 🌍🍴

Last week, our elementary students in the Uncommon Chef Program took a culinary trip to Ireland—no passport needed! 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳 They prepared a traditional Irish breakfast while learning teamwork, creativity, and essential cooking skills.

We’re so proud of their enthusiasm and curiosity. The culinary journey continues… where will our chefs travel next? 🍽️✨

Congratulations to our 3 campuses!

Please join us bring awareness!

Last week on Monday, our ACE high school and junior high students traveled to Italy through flavor! 🍝🍰

Students put their own creative spin on a classic pesto pasta dish and prepared tiramisu for dessert while showcasing teamwork, creativity, and collaboration in the kitchen. We are proud of our students for exploring international cuisine! 🌎👩‍🍳👨‍🍳

Last month in February, our ACE junior high and high school students created handmade Valentine’s Day cards for the residents at Windsor Nursing and Rehabilitation Center of San Diego 💙

As the ACE Family Engagement Coordinator, I had the honor of delivering the cards on behalf of our students to help spread love and brighten the residents’ Valentine’s Day celebration ❤️
