Family & Consumer Sciences (FACS)

FACS (Family and Consumer Science) is a hands-on class that offers opportunities to learn and practice life skills! This semester class in 6^th and 8^th grade provides one quarter in the cooking lab room highlighting basic kitchen skills (food and kitchen safety, recipe reading, measuring) and nutrition. Cooking is done each week with a variety of recipes to try! During the other quarter, students have opportunities to practice sewing skills with a sewing machine and by hand. Depending on the grade, skills such as decision making, babysitting, how to apply for a job, and money management are also part of the experience.
