Goal

Here at Galaxy Middle School our Culinary Arts program is a new elective course for our students. This will be our second year in operation. We are so grateful to Volusia County Schools for bringing this course back to Galaxy after fifteen years. The district furnished the classroom with basic equipment to start the program. The goal as the teacher I want to select food labs that will challenge our student in the areas of mathematic and reading.

To make a difference we rely on the support of parents and the district classroom allocation funds to this course. We would be most grateful if FUTURES Foundation of Volusia County Schools would consider the new Culinary Arts (students) of Galaxy this grant up to $1000 to purchase small equipment such as: i.e., Ice Cream Makers, Griddles and Counter Deep Fryers.
