Whew…we are rocking this week at MPEC. Sixty+ Corwin students, teachers, & parents spent the night on Monday, another 60 from Corwin on Tuesday night, around 50 from Sunset Elementary tonight, then around 50 from Bessemer Academy tomorrow night. That’s a whole lot of eggs to crack, lettuce to wash, homemade pizza to bake, hikes to the Fire Tower, s’mores around the evening campfire…all part of our amazing Earth Studies program. These students learn so much about science and the bioregion and the spending the night gives them a chance to learn about how to make their own beds and be stewards of the Lodge.
This is our morning kitchen set up for serving students. MPEC is proud of serving organic milk, healthy cereals without high fructose corn syrups, and whole-grain bagels. We also offer them scrambled eggs, a meat side and pure orange juice. Many of the students tell us that normally they only eat cereal for breakfast, so our philosophy of giving children a full learning experience is evidenced by them appreciating the meals we serve them
