As part
of their Culinary Arts and Gardening Program, the students of The Katahdin
Program, Windham High School’s alternative learning initiative, have
volunteered to plan and prepare a delicious dinner for the next Raymond Village
Community Church (RVCC) free community meal. Located at 27 Main Street in
Raymond, the meal will be hosted by the church on Thursday, October 17 from 5
p.m. to 6 p.m.
“We are
so excited to have this relationship with the staff and students of the
Katahdin Program.”, said RVCC Pastor Rev. Nancy Foran. “It is a win-win for both parties. The kids will
have an interesting educational challenge and an opportunity to showcase their
talents, their skills, and the program of which they are a part.
Everyone in
the local community has the chance to enjoy an excellent meal of beef stew,
home-made bread, salad and dessert. In the process, people can demonstrate
their support and appreciation for this unique and valuable educational
initiative.”
RVCC
hopes that everyone from Raymond, Windham, and beyond will come to be guests of
these marvelous young people.
There
have been many questions about whether the free community meals will continue
after their successful introduction in the spring. RVCC intends to continue
these free community meals indefinitely.
The
Katahdin Program utilizes
the classroom, the outdoors and the greater community to provide alternative
education programming for students, grades nine through 12, in the RSU14
Windham/Raymond school district. The program recognizes that all learners have
strengths, assets, and interests. Katahdin staff believe that every individual
is an important part of the learning community, whose core values are
integrity, safety, respect, responsibility, and kindness.
