I teach Family and Consumer Sciences to students in a small rural community. You may know FACS as "Home Ec." The name change reflects the needs of our changing society. I do teach students to cook, but I also teach them about nutrition and wellness and how to select a healthy diet in today's fast food driven world. I do teach students to sew, but I also teach them to select clothing that meets their needs and gives the most value for their money. I also teach classes in Parenting, Housing, Human Relations, and Financial Planning. My classroom needs are as varied as my students and the courses I teach. I appreciate Donors Choose for giving me an option to share and fulfill my program's needs!
