Frankfort high school teacher shows students how 'adult'

The Clinton Prairie High School teacher instructs five classes over the academic school year with some only offered during particular semesters: introduction for seventh-graders to family and consumer sciences, child development, adult roles, and two levels of nutrition and wellness.

In her nutrition and wellness courses, it is food preservation season, so Albitz said students will keep canning and freezing produce until it is gone.

Kids bring in produce from their gardens at home, members of the community who have excess will reach out to me to give to the classes, and it is really great to see.

"Not a lot of places teach these basic life skills that are needed to be functioning adults," she said.
