Hungry Minds

The Hungry Minds Project was developed to encourage students in our alternative education program to create culinary, literary and fine art while studying across the curriculum. Since one way to the human heart is through the stomach and a happy heart is a step closer to the mind, we used food to motivate learning. This cookbook represents a fraction of the educational activities our students participated in while completing this project. Language Arts classes conducted research projects. Art classes created beautiful still lifes. Business Education classes cooked stir-fry. Thanks to a grant from The Excellence Fund we were able to purchase Adobe Photoshop and afford printing. Thanks to support from local businesses we took field trips and held cooking competitions. The Scott Alternative Learning Center is proud to present this year’s student driven publication.
