Springbrook Clubs

Something new is cooking at Springbrook! This fall, students have the chance to join the school’s brand-new Cooking Club, an after-school program where food, fun, and life skills come together.

The club meets on Tuesdays from 2:30–4:30 and will give students hands-on experience making recipes from scratch. With only 12 spots available each week, students can sign up outside Mrs. Ford’s room. Names are randomly drawn on Fridays, and the chosen participants get to cook the following Tuesday. Each Wednesday, Mrs. Ford will announce the recipe of the week so students know what tasty creation is on the menu.

Thanks to generous donations from Meijer, Aldi, Country Market, and the PTO, the Cooking Club is ready to provide students with ingredients and supplies to make each meeting a success.

Club advisor Mrs. Ford shared her excitement about the launch:
“I can’t wait to get started! Middle school students are always hungry, so I know they’ll love making and tasting the delicious food we create together. What excites me most is teaching them how to cook from scratch—so many kids haven’t had that chance yet. Once they try it, they’ll see how much tastier (and cheaper!) homemade food can be.”

The very first club meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 14, with students making a classic favorite—Dirt Cake. From there, recipes will be chosen based on student votes. Whether it’s homemade pizza, cookies, or something totally new, the menu will reflect what Springbrook students are most excited to learn.

The Cooking Club isn’t just about food—it’s about giving students the opportunity to build confidence, creativity, and lifelong skills. As Mrs. Ford says, “This club is all about having fun, making memories, and learning skills you’ll use for the rest of your life.”

So, Springbrook—are you ready to get cooking (and eating) ?
