105 kitchens. 171 lasagnes. A whole lotta Lasagne Love

To unlock the gourmet within a whole crew of volunteer chefs, the Parents’ Association and Gratitude Project hosted a live, online cooking class starring Lab faculty member and parent, chef Kit San Fratello. In this effort, families learned to make lasagne. And boy did they. Once made, the Project, led by parents Corinne Bal and Mike Allen, collected and delivered the 171 dinners to Lab employees. This was the second round of “Lasagna Love”—a way to express gratitude and love for Lab’s faculty and staff during exceptional times. 

The Gratitude Project engages the Lab community in activities that raise spirits and make a positive difference in our wider communities. Watch this video compilation of the project courtesy of the High School Student Council.
