On Thursday, November 21st, Junior students from the North Franklin Educational Center Culinary program prepared homemade chicken pot pies for dedicated staff, with each pie priced at $10. This initiative embodies a mutual gesture of appreciation and gratitude during the Thanksgiving season between students and staff.
As part of the program, students took pride in crafting these comforting dishes, viewing the project as an opportunity to thank the FEHB staff for their unwavering support, while also expanding their skills in the kitchen.
The chicken pot pies, filled with tender chicken, seasonal vegetables, and a savory sauce, are not just a meal; they symbolize the holiday season's theme of support. Pricing the pies at $10, the initiative both aimed to aid the culinary program, while also allowing staff to incorporate these dishes into their family meals, providing a delicious and convenient option that can help alleviate the stress often associated with the holiday season.
“The students are so proud to cook for the staff, and they are providing a much appreciated service to our BOCES families by saving us from an additional meal to cook during a busy holiday time!” said FEHB Superintendent, Dale Breault.
As students share their culinary creations, they remind us all of the power of gratitude and the joy of coming together during the holiday season. With each delicious bite, staff can savor the warmth of appreciation and reflect on the good that thrives within their workplace. This Thanksgiving, let’s celebrate the connections that nourish us, both in the kitchen and in our community.
