What’s Cooking with Mr. Miller!?
Jan 16, 2018
Grade 7 and 8 students at Kingsway Park Public School have been cooking up a storm in their brand new purpose built cooking lab since it opened on January 8! The students are participating in a full culinary experience that will get them comfortable in the kitchen and cooking a number of dishes. The lab is also available for students from all South Side elementary schools.
