Sara brings the outside world into the classroom. She continuously looks for ways to be innovative and strives to get her students involved within the community and her school. When students leave her, they leave with a strong understanding of FACS and the industries involved in the numerous FACS related clusters. She is an outstanding CTE teacher and deserves recognition. Sara has organized a version of "Chopped", the Food Network television show, for her Culinary Arts classes and makes her lessons interactive. She engages students and holds their interest in many ways. Some examples of this would be when she uses Harry Potter and Star Wars themed games to make exam reviewing a breeze. She jumps into the world of her middle school students to bring them into hers.
