SPONSOR: Jennifer Dunn
STUDENT LEADERS: Sophie (Cy) Hamblin Club President. Sierra Conroy Club Vice President. Marlie Best Club Secretary
NUMBER OF MEMBERS:We average 50 members.
FEES: 2026-2027 School Year $10 Member Fee
REGULAR MEETING TIMES: General Members – one Tuesday each month. Leadership Members – Executive Meeting and General Meeting each month.
REQUIREMENTS: Be a positive addition to the club. Students show up and participate. Meeting will always be on a Tuesday within the month. Club leaders have to give a speech and be elected by the club members during our elections. Club leaders should be present at all culinary club meetings. Students need to come to meetings to be considered members. Coming once does not make a student a member. Come to our club meetings, cook, and clean before you leave.
EVENTS: Culinary club members learn about the food courses available at Papillion La Vista South High and are encouraged to take the courses to learn more about food. We have yet to have a "Big Event." Pro Start Culinary Arts participates in Culinary Competition. General culinary club members do not have a current competition.
ADDITIONAL INFO: No courses required. Being in a Nutrition and Foods or Culinary Pro Start course would be beneficial. Sponsor wants students to come and be willing to learn. Understand that cleaning is part of the cooking process and students have to participate in both. Family, friend, and organization donations are always appreciated to help purchase groceries.
