JB 49 has finally made it to the kitchen! Second month is awesome because it means the homework gets two days to do it (if your time management is up to par) and the students don’t have the long hours of sitting in the classroom! In the Kitchen: The first day is always a lot. […]
JB 46 has finished Week 3!!! Here is Kathy to give you a brief look at this week: “Short week in days, but not in material. We had a four day week in honor of the Martin Luther King Jr holiday on Monday. Still full speed ahead in learning and homework capacity. This week we finished […]
November has me thinking about gratitude. I guess because Thanksgiving is right around the corner and in “normal times”, many people spend the holiday with their loved ones, eat way too much, and are “Grateful”. Or at least, that’s what I think is the reason behind Thanksgiving; we give thanks, right? However, this year has […]
“Moving into week 6 at Just Bakery, we started out as usual with some Bakers’ Math. In this unit we use real recipes and find the total weight of it. We also practiced figuring out order forms and how to decide how much product we needed to make based on what we had in stock. […]
“As JB 45 continues to learn more about and study Baker’s Math, Servsafe, and Nutrition, we were really excited to start rolling in the dough and getting our hands dirty this week in the kitchen. Well, “dirty” in a Servsafe sort of fashion: practicing sanitation and social distancing! Monday we met on zoom as usual […]

We’ll start things off this week with Bee’s summary of the week, and end with a couple of pictures from the youth’s baking experiments this week! “It has been a busy and productive week in the classroom and the kitchen! Can’t wait for next week, but sad that this portion of the program is soon […]
This week was JB 43’s second week in the kitchen and the youth cohort’s second week total! We’ll start with Bee and JB 43, and then we’ll check in with Zack and Justin, our youth cohort instructors, on what they have been up to over there! Bee: “This week has zipped by as we get […]
JB 43 made it through the grueling first month of classroom only and finally started in the kitchen! The first day is a lot like the first day in the classroom where they are presented with a bunch of information as they prepare to get baking, and day 2 is all business. Here is Bee […]
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.
