I did ask one kid if MLK [[King High school) had a home Econ program and was told no. I thought about it and realized it probably has a name like family and consumer resources. Asked again and was told no also. Cooking, shopping, budgeting, sewing should be basic skills! Is this possible that these programs are not available?
They are usually not available anywhere now, Sumas. They teach life skills, if they are lucky they may get that.

Maybe you can just do what you did last year for the kids? I remembered there was a thread filled with ideas that was posted here, have a look.
