Students in the World Language Society at Elwood-John H. Glenn High
School gave back to the community on Feb. 15, when they coordinated a
meal donation effort. Under the guidance of teachers Nicole Correia and
Nicole Gendjoian, the students took on various responsibilities in
planning, preparing for and executing a successful initiative.
The students cooked baked ziti and assembled vegetable platters for the
Huntington Tri Community and Youth Agency. They also created two meal
baskets for families in need.
Leading up to the event, students were provided with a grocery list and
went shopping on their own. Some of the students had never cooked before
but were eager to learn new skills and follow instructions in order to
help. Five stations were set up for small groups to follow the recipe.
Ms. Correia and Ms. Gendjoian were thrilled to see the students’
enthusiasm and hope to schedule another day of cooking in March.
