1 June 4, 2015 Dear Parents, We are excited to offer a special opportunity for your students for the school year from the Vetri Foundation and the Free Library of Philadelphia. The Free Library will be hosting eighth grade students in the Culinary Literacy Center at the Parkway Central Library for an 8-week Culinary Arts Practical led by chefs from the Vetri Foundation. The course will be hands-on and the students will learn everything from knife skills to how to make fresh pasta to how to break down a chicken. The class will culminate in a multi-course, shared meal, created by the students. The Culinary Arts Practical will occur on Tuesdays from 2:00 5:00 p.m. Students will get to the Library by 2:00 and will return to the school by 5:15. Ms. McAdoo will join the students for the entirety of the program. Participation in this Culinary Arts Practical is voluntary and students and parents or guardians will need to fill out the included applications and permission slips. Thank you in advance for your help. This is a unique and exciting opportunity for your students. Sincerely, Liz Fitzgerald Culinary Literacy Specialist Free Library of Philadelphia Carla Norelli Chef and Program Manager Vetri Foundation
