The Foods Room at Herscher High School

Last Night, we hosted our first fundraiser of the school year, a Parents Night Out dedicated to the end of the summer.

We played carnival games, had calzones or spaghetti, painted suncatchers, played in the gym and finished up with an ice cream bar with color changing spoons (I was incredibly impressed by the love for cherries from the kids though).

The seniors did amazing for their first event and it was so good seeing the kids again! See you all again, soon 💛

A week from Friday!!! Just a few more days until sign ups close!

Well… I hope everyone had an AMAZING summer and a great start to the new school year!

We are SO excited to kick off another year of fundraising with a brand-new group of seniors! 💛🖤🐯 And while we may be starting a little later than usual this year, don’t worry...we promise the same amount of FUN!

We’re wrapping up summer with our first Parents’ Night Out, and this one is all about celebrating the end of summer!

As always, the littles will enjoy:
-Dinner
-Games
-Crafts
-Snack
…and LOTS of fun!

I cannot wait to see all of our returning kiddos and see just how much they’ve grown since our last event!

And, as always, 100% of the profits from this event will go toward helping our senior culinary students compete in the Cook Around the World Disney competition at Walt Disney World in April!

We are incredibly excited about this new group of seniors and cannot wait to see where this year takes them!

Come let us entertain the kids while you enjoy a few hours to yourself—and help our seniors get one step closer to Disney! ✨

Good afternoon!

I am looking for about 4-5 people who may be in a position where they do hiring or have experience in job interviewing to come into my independent living class to conduct mock interviews on September 14th and 15th between 11:30 and 12:15pm.

This will be the assessment for the job searching unit. I can provide you with a list of questions if needed. If this is something you would be willing to help out with, please reach out to me here or via email [email protected]

Thanks!!! :)

Less than 2 weeks until our first parent night out for the school year! And since we were unable to attend the corn bowl this year, we are doing to add some carnival activities to our end of the summer fun. We will close sign ups in one week, so we can ensure to have enough supplies. :)

Have a stress-free time away knowing that your child will have a great time AND you will be helping fund next years Seniors in World Foods class participate in the Cook around the World Competition at Disney!

It's been a busy week! On Wednesday, current juniors (next years Cook Around the World seniors) prepared and handed out food for the 4th Grade grandparents picnic and my current World Foods class decorated cookies with two of the 4th grade classes!
