Charlie is most excited about teaching students all about cooking at School’s Out this year!

Cooking builds skills such as leadership, self-confidence, creativity, teamwork, time management and problem solving.

Cooking is a fun way to spark curiosity about other broader topics such as food systems, chemistry, art and biology to name a few.

He is an alumni of Champlain College's Teacher Apprenticeship Program.
