Hello Amazing Nighthawk Chefs!
I hope everyone has had a wonderful summer so far and that this email finds you and your loved ones healthy and safe. I am reaching out to let you all know that I will be taking a break from teaching this fall and will not be available to host Chefs Club when school begins. The abrupt passing of my dad this past May has deeply affected my own health and the health of my family members. Because of the immense grief I am experiencing for my dad and a growing need to support my elderly grandparents in Minnesota, I have decided I must prioritize my family and my healing in the coming months.
The New Vision administrative team will be working on keeping Chefs Club going in my absence, so be sure to keep your eyes and ears open for updates provided in school-wide communications. They are currently looking for a staff member to help lead the club while I am away and are also open to me contributing later on in the school year if I am able to.
Before stepping away (for now), I would like to extend a most sincere thank you to all of you for making Chefs Club a success last year! Cooking with you guys was the highlight of every week and I absolutely loved the community we built. I hope to rejoin Chefs Club sometime in the future, but until then, I hope you all stick with it! Cooking can be such a fantastic stress reliever and source of joy! I know being in the kitchen and creating something tasty can really help lift my heart And I am sure if you ask Mr. Hollingshead nicely, he would still be up for featuring Nighthawk Chef creations on the morning announcements
Until we meet again, Chefs 👋 All the best in the upcoming school year! And in all your future cooking endeavors!
With Gratitude,
Ms. Emma Welton
Hello Nighthawks! And welcome to the New Vision Amateur Chefs Club! We are a virtual club (at least for the time being) aimed at cultivating joy and community through shared cooking experiences 💜 We believe cooking is both a very practical, valuable skill and a therapeutic activity that has the power to inspire and bring people together.
We are a K-8 club! All Nighthawks and their loved ones are invited to join in the culinary fun 👨🏽🍳🎉 There is no deadline for signing up - you can join our club at any point throughout the year 🙂 It is also designed to be a "come as you can club". Student chefs and their families can select the lessons that fit with their schedule and interest them most.
To learn more about the how, when and where of our club, please navigate to the Lesson Schedule page 💻📅

I dedicate my efforts with this club - and everything that I do in service of others - to my beautiful angel momma ❤️ She taught me the importance of making space in your day and in your heart for the things that bring you joy, big and small, and what it means to selflessly share that joy and creativity with others. She is my greatest inspiration and source of strength. I love you, Mom ❤️❤️❤️
