Once in kitchen labs, students donned aprons and received instructions to cut vegetables for a vegan spaghetti sauce.

For dessert, students learned how to decorate cupcakes with leaves, spirals, and multicolored sprinkles. GEAR UP cohort students from Lee, Wyoming, and Kelloggsville will have their working lunches on the next three Fridays.
