JB-52, Just Bakery
JB 52 Made Snickedoodle Cookies
Feb
This was our FIRST week in the Kitchen!
Justin our Kitchen Instructor said that once the students get out of the classroom and into the Kitchen, that is when you find out who really wants this
or not. And that is also when the different personalities clash because in the kitchen you HAVE to work together to get it done, and that’s how it will also be in a professional work environment. But Justin was very happy to say that this was one of the BEST classes he has had here at Just Bakery. Gloria, Cliff, and Florenzo worked beautifully together as a team.
Florenzo said that the information he learned in the classroom like the Baker’s Math was something that he was able to utilize immediately on Day One of being in Kitchen. He was able to see that everything we teach them has a purpose.
Jamison from our Last Class JB 51 was able to present her final project which Justin said had a layer of cream cheese in the middle that he was pleasantly surprised to see that it didn’t get smooshed.
We do have a couple people missing from Just Bakery this week, and we wish them all a speedy recovery! Get well soon Athena and Zack, we can’t wait to see you!

The mission of JustDane has always been to inspire hope and create change at the individual level and community level. JustDane would not be where it is today without the wonderful people who participate in, and give life to, its programs. Tyrees Scott is one of these people. He is the embodiment of hope, change, and perseverance. Born in Chicago and raised in Madison, Wisconsin, Tyrees dealt with struggles while growing up, and as a young man he was incarcerated. Despite tribulations after his release from prison, Tyrees decided it was time to change his life around. He made a promise to himself that he would not end up incarcerated again, and he has lived up to exactly that.
