Spring Break Pierogi Party


We hosted a kids' cooking class during BVSD's spring break this March. Kids learned how to make delicious pierogis filled with potatoes, cheese or blueberries. We're grateful to our hardworking volunteers and everyone else who pitched in to make this event possible. As you can see in this video, the event was a huge success!


We offer adult cooking classes on the second Wednesday of each month and kids' cooking classes a few times a year. If you'd like to help with future cooking classes, please email Robyn@sistercarmen.org. Thank you!
