Join Leah and I in the War Room as we speak to MCHS Culinary & FACS Teacher, Student Council Advisor and Softball Coach, Jessica Grens! Some Key Takeaways from our chat:
Foods & Digital Life: starts with a great department; recently, working on providing take home lab bags and doing live demos; parents can get ingredients or teachers prepare for them; taking requests for recipes from kids
Jessica’s Teacher Story - into health and fitness - wanted to be a dietician at first! Changed course, went into teaching
Favorite Culinary Unit/Recipe: Monkey Bread (of course!)
Challenges in education & how she dug herself out of the trenches: Very set in her ways, hard to change - learning the importance of adapting, becoming more open to change
What are You Hopeful For: That we can SLOW DOWN! People are way more kind than you think; wants students and co-workers to remember her for being kind and helpful!
