The Foundation Board is a Great Place to Be!

In October, Foundation Board members had the chance to experience a Career and Technical Education (CTE) Culinary Arts class at Lakeridge High School taught by the wonderful Jennifer Jillions, who was honored as KPTV's Classroom of the Month in May 2025. 

This Culinary Arts class is just one of the many opportunities supported by the Foundation.
