Each month at Imagine Clay Avenue Community School, specially selected Toledo, Ohio elementary students are treated to a gourmet dinner at the campus. Fifth Grade Teacher and Grade Level Leader Ryan Throop-Voors and his wife Jesse, also an Imagine teacher, purchase ingredients and lead chosen students in the process of preparing a “Dinner of Excellence.”
Participating students are nominated by their teachers for having the best behavior and character for the previous month. Students look forward to this meal for both the recognition it provides and the exposure to new foods it offers.
At a recent dinner, students prepared and devoured a delicious meal of omelets, toast, and a wild berry puff topped with homemade (from scratch) whipped cream. Students left with their bodies and souls nurtured.
We salute Ryan and Jesse Throop-Voors for the investment they are making into the lives of our Imagine students!
