Video Recap Breakfast for Grandparents
Here is a video recap of our Breakfast for Grandparents event. The Inspiration Academy was delighted to host our student’s grandparents for a special breakfast event. We believe that grandparents play an important role in the lives of our students, and we enjoyed celebrating that relationship. TIA students helped provide breakfast service to show their appreciation for the love and support their grandparents provide. Our morning was filled with joy and memorable moments, with many members of our community coming together. Some of our students played the piano for all of our guests. We thank all our students and staff for making this such a great event.
TIA Touring the Arizona Culinary Institute
To kick off The Inspiration Academy’s Culinary Arts Module training this school year, TIA students have been touring the Arizona Culinary Institute in Scottsdale to learn about culinary arts schooling opportunities they may wish to pursue. In the coming weeks, TIA students will begin their own cooking classes with Debbie J. Elder, founder of Culinary Curator. TIA’s Culinary Arts Module allows students to learn the basics of food preparation and explore the art and science of cooking and baking. It includes healthy meal planning and artistic presentation. In preparation for these cooking classes, all TIA staff and students study, test, and earn their full Food Handlers Certification Cards. TIA students this year will be cooking, serving, and running a number of events as part of their training during September, October, and November.
