Week 2 of School!

I know many of you are thinking "there are only 35 weeks of school left!" In my opinion thats only 35 weeks left to make all the wonderful, yummy dishes we plan on learning about this year.

This week in ProStart we are beginning Career Exploration and Job Expectations. I will be posting job opportunities within the classroom before the week is out. If you are interested in becoming my Sous Chef, Sanitation Manager or Storeroom Manager make sure you introduce yourself to me and let me know of your intentions. Soon we will be doing Cover Letters, Resumes and Job Applications. I want you to tell me if you intend to apply for one of those jobs. Also, I am expecting you to make your intentions know to me if you plan on competing this year in SkillsUSA or WV HEAT!

WELCOME BACK!!!!

Welcome Back JRTI Students!!!!

Today was the big day, the first day of the rest of your life, the one you’ve been waiting for, the Main Event! Or at least it was for me. I love being back at school! I really do. Those of you who are returning ProStart students at James Rumsey know that I’m not kidding. I love being in school! I do. I teach not only at James Rumsey, but at Blue Ridge Community and Technical College as well. Both of those jobs are full time for me. That means that I spend more time at school than I do at home! And I do it by choice. It’s true!

Here’s my proposition to you. If you are reading this, I’m going to give you an opportunity I won’t give to everyone else in the class. If you read this Blog Post and make a comment on the page about what I have written, I will give you 5 extra points on the next test you take in class. The deal is that you have to leave a comment and check back here regularly to see if I’ve added a new post. In order to get the five points, you have to have commented on the MOST RECENT blog post I have left here. The comment must be school appropriate and you’ve got to actually comment on the post. Just leaving a “what up Chef Breezy” isn’t going to be worth five points. That means you’ll have to read the Blog and make a productive post.


I hope you participate and I look forward to the school year! Have fun!


P.s. to all you other Blog readers, I hope you continue to read even if I can’t give you 5 points on your next test!
