It's an amazing day when food takes on a literacy approach! Our students at Fair Plain East were able to participate in an exciting session of Kids in the Kitchen with Taher. Our students at FPE were joined by Chef Cory and Taher Director Tabbert and made Cat in the Hat kabobs! Students had fun creating such a delicious snack using fresh fruits and even learned about using edilble markers! #TigerPride #KidsintheKitchen
