Coal City High School’s PATH Life Skills students recently participated in a Cooking Day, where they learned to make homemade pizzas from scratch. The activity focused on building daily living skills such as following recipes, measuring ingredients, practicing kitchen safety, and working collaboratively. Students selected their own toppings and created personalized pizzas.
“We are so proud of their growing confidence and independence in the kitchen,” said Mr. Kinder, the program’s instructor.
