Stories come to life in the kitchen!
Join Ms. Jennine and Ms. Marie Hall for a special Friday mini-camp series that brings wonderful stories and delicious food together.
Each 2½-hour workshop begins with a book read aloud to the children. Inspired by the story, participants will then learn a new cooking skill and prepare a related recipe to enjoy.

Two passionate educators who believe stories — and good food — bring children together.
Grades 1–2 and Grade 8 Teacher • Theater Guild
Stories and storytelling are at the heart of Jennine's teaching. She created The Family Book Spot, a literacy-focused passion project, and developed the original Beyond the Story interdisciplinary curriculum. She believes children of every age benefit from participating in the storytelling process.
Founder & Director
Ms. Marie has been teaching and nurturing children for more than 23 years. As Director, she leads cooking and practical-life experiences, helping students learn to work with their hands, care for the world around them, and find joy in shared work.
