As part of the year-long strategic planning effort that will chart the future of CCE in the challenging times ahead, a Strategic Planning Survey has been created. Schuyler County residents are encouraged to participate, but please only submit one survey per household, whether it be online or in paper form.

Cooking classes at the WG Middle School

We are in the process of scheduling a parent/child cooking class series at Watkins Glen Middle School. Parents and kids get together to learn healthy meal cooking and food handling on a one to one basis with an instructor. Class sizes are small so you get personal attention, and you get to share time with your child in the kitchen. Kids are great helpers and it has been proven they are more willing to try new things from the kitchen if they've had a helping hand in preparation. Call us to register today, classes begin soon!! 535-7161.
