LIVE @ THE FOUNDRY
AB Tools Field Trip
We just returned from an absolutely electric leadership field trip to AB Tools, and the energy is still buzzing! We were given an exclusive, "behind-the-scenes" look at how a premier local business operates right here in our community.
The Highlights
Real-World Insight: Our students got to see the precision, dedication, and innovation required to run a successful manufacturing business.
Community Connection: We are beyond grateful to AB Tools for not only opening their doors to us but for being such a steadfast, local supporter of the Foundry Youth Center.
Future Careers: The impact was immediate—we already have a couple of students buzzing about the possibility of joining the AB Tools team in the future!
This wasn’t just a tour; it was a spark for our students' professional dreams. A massive THANK YOU to the entire team at AB Tools for investing in the next generation of Lincoln’s leaders!
THE Countertop CHef
Our kitchen is heating up! We are having a blast with our weekly Countertop Chef program, where our high school students are transforming into confident culinary creators. Each session is packed with energy, flavor, and life-changing skills!
The Winning Recipe
Nutrition: We kick things off with a fast-paced nutrition lesson, connecting the dots between what we eat and how we feel.
Skills Demo: After a professional cooking demo, the aprons come on! Students learn everything from proper knife skills to mastering measuring basics.
Team Challenge: The highlight of the week! Students break into teams to tackle delicious, healthy recipes, turning raw ingredients into gourmet meals.
Huge thanks to Raley’s for their incredible support! By providing the high-quality, whole food ingredients for our recipes, they are helping our students discover that healthy eating tastes as good as it feels.
We are so proud of these budding chefs as they learn to fuel their bodies and their futures!
