"Flip the Script," the JetSetters filmmaking class, is working on creating an honest, objective film that explores the real life of pregnant teens and teen parents. The students hope to give a voice to pregnant teens so they can share their story in their own words. They are "looking for honest answers to tough questions".
Last week, the class interviewed Molly Baldridge from Alameda Family Services. The students wrote all the questions and handled the entire production from directing to camera work to audio to interviewing. They worked very smoothly as a production team and had excellent communication - very professional. Check back soon for a mini preview of their work!

Woodshop class working hard
Last week I had the privelegde of dropping in on the woodworking class to take some photos. Everyone is working really hard to put together furniture for our much anticipated cafe, which will be located outside the JetSetters portable. Which reminds me, any suggestions on what we should call that place?

Inspiration from the kitchen...
In honor of St. Patrick's day, Miss Cecil's cooking class is learning how to prepare a simple version of a traditional Irish dish. The recipe is below. Check back in a few hours for pictures and to hear how it turned out!
Easy Corned Beef and Cabbage
Ingredients:
-4 Slices bacon
-1 (3-4 lb.) Corned beek brisket, cut into cubes
-Beef broth
-Red potatoes
-1 Head green cabbage, coursely chopped
-Salt and pepper to taste
-Water if needed
Directions
Cook the bacon in large pot over medium heat until almost crisp. Remove the bacon from the pot and set aside. Add the beef brisket, enough beef broth to cover the meat and let simmer until it is tender. Add the potatoes, cabbage, and carrots, stir everything so that it gets coated with all the juices. Add about 1/3 cup of water if needed, salt and pepper. Cover the pot and cook over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, chop the bacon into small pieces and then add into the pot. Cook until desired doneness.
