Fearless!

As many of you know, I believe children are only limited by our imagination. The children in our lives are more often than not the recipients of our fears as well as our dreams and expectations. When we expect more they tend to give more. Give them wings, show them how to use them, let them know the consequences of misuse and lovingly let them fly. That's the instructional philosophy behind Jr. Chef Central and the approach I take to teaching every child.
Here are more pictures (courtesy of Agriculture in the Classroom) of the event in Costa Mesa at the end of June where Master Jr. Chefs Allison, Alyssa, Ben & Kevin stretched their wings and took to flight. At ages 11, 12, 13 & 14. Thought these put the magnitude of what they did in focus.


"Karla,
Thank you so much for your participation with Jr. Chef Central at our 2008 National Ag in the Classroom Conference in Orange County. Our attendees absolutely loved the presentation and we hope that you all enjoyed yourselves too! We look forward to working with you much more in the future!
Sincerely, Kelly
