🌟Today`s Fellow Friday spotlight is on: Ms. Ambrose!
🏫 "My name is Ms. Ambrose. I have been teaching for 15 plus years. I first became interested in the Pilot Light Fellowship after talking to two alumni from the program. As a Fellow, I am looking forward to spreading the knowledge of Food Nutrition to my students and parents. I am currently in my second year of teaching Fine Arts (Theater/Speech).”
💚 A Favorite Food Memory or Recipe:
"My favorite food memory was making pound cake with my grandmother and my mother when I was a little girl. The best part was when she would make a sample cake patty for me to taste. It smelled so good coming out the oven. Taste testing was an important job, and I was so excited to do it."
🍴Recent Pilot Light lessons:
So far this school year, Ms. Ambrose`s students have taste-tested honey vs. maple syrup, made their own trail mixes, researched the origins of different snack foods from around the world, learned the benefits and differences between different types of salad dressings, made fruit salad and homemade salsa together, and much more!
Keep up the great work, Ms. Ambrose!👏
