ProStart and Introduction to Foods Students Volunteered at LA Food Bank

Published on Filed Under : BHS News Published by:

Last week a combination of ProStart and Introduction to Foods students volunteered at the LA Foodbank.  They were split into two groups.  One group worked in the cooler room, which was below 38 degrees, sorting  and boxing food for the 3 hours.  They were able to sort 16,088 pounds of food.  The other group worked in the main warehouse sorting, boxing, and organizing food.  They were able to organize 33,186 pounds of food.  Together, they did enough to make over 29,000 meals.  The students demonstrated team work, positive attitudes, and an ability to get their work done.

Bonita High School Hospitality program ProStart students have been actively practicing and preparing for their upcoming State ProStart Management and Culinary Competition.  The students have been practicing most evenings and are here all day on Saturdays. The students have started a GoFund Me Campaign to help raise money for their competition.  If you can, take a moment to check it out.  Any amount of support, no matter how small, will help.
 

There will also be a fundraising event with Pappas Artisanal in downtown La Verne for Wednesday,  February 24th and Wednesday, March 2nd from 5pm-9pm. Buy a presale ticket from Mrs. Brandler or one of the ProStart students for only $10 (will be $15 at the door) and you get your choice of:
