Collected November 2020
Welcome!
Welcome to the Lakeland TRIBE Recipe Book. For anyone reading who might not be familiar with its
origins, students were tasked with finding a recipe and sharing it with their community through our
weekly Social and Emotional Learning activity. This could have been a Thanksgiving recipe, a family
recipe, a self-made recipe, or just something that a student thinks looks really yummy!
First, you will find completed recipes that were submitted. After those recipes will be any recipes that
were submitted as links. Some links take you to recipe websites, and some show handwritten family
recipes.
We are proud of our TRIBE, and the community that is continually being built here at Lakeland. We
hope this makes all who read it feel a little sense of community, and fill some bellies too!
Together, we are better! Together we are a TRIBE.
