 Mingo Central High School is bringing the kitchen to the classroom as part of the pro-start program for juniors and seniors. In the Minor Cafe, students are learning how to handle a variety of kitchen tools and make meals for themselves and others in a positive environment. The faculty and students believe teaching this basic life skill is overall beneficial. It's good for them and that they get the feel for what a restaurant is supposed to work like. And that's what the whole class is all about. And if some of them don't like it, that's fine. And if they like it a whole lot, that's even better. But it's just to give them the feel for what it's like to work in a restaurant. And then you can also use those skills, like you say, at home and to cook for yourself and all that. But the class is geared primarily towards working in a restaurant. Some who will never do it at all, they'll never go to a restaurant. Some who will work in a restaurant while they're going to school, going to college and stuff like that. And that's a great place to start. And then some who will take it for a career, you know. So we kind of get a little bit of everything and that's a good thing, you know. So it's been great. A lot of them are getting out there and getting to work, learning new skills. It's been a great thing. At Appalachian Wireless, we have the best service and the best deals right now. Save up to $500 on iPhone 13th and 14th, all models, all gigabytes with trade-in.

We are Appalachian Wireless. The students enjoy working alongside Sizemore and each other. Even those with little to no culinary experience can gain something from this program. I started this class last year. I didn't take it as a sophomore as an elective because I was more focused academically. And this teacher, Mr. Sizemore, who's such a loving and fun guy to come and be able to experience something like he has right here. And it's really an outstanding thing for people to do, whether they're more of a baker or more cooking or there's always something for everyone to do here. And my experience has been great throughout the whole time here. And it's really something everyone should get to do. It's like having a big family in here. It's all like family recipes coming from people's families. We used this grandmother's recipe for cookies the other day. It's not to experience different people's experiences and heritages.
