Led by Ron Clark Academy counselor Elektra Thompson, a select group of young ladies were fortunate to participate in the Food Network’s Chef Tregaye & Saving Our Daughters, Jr. Chef Culinary Camp for the second summer in a row. Each possessing a passion to gain more culinary skills and nutritional knowledge, students dedicated themselves to retaining best practices and then applying the methods to real-life meal preparation.

After receiving professional insight from Chef Tregaye, fellow Ron Clark Academy student and Master Chef Junior season 5 winner, Just Chef Jasmine Stewart, and Chef Tregaye’s sous, Chef Lauren Strong, students recently completed the camp by delivering a 12-minute meal prep demonstration to 40 cancer patients, survivors, nutritionists, and Doctors at Piedmont Health.

“Thank you Chef Tregaye and Saving Our Daughters for broadening our students’ knowledge of healthy food options and to Sprouts for funding their shopping!” The Ron Clark Academy.
