EAST Chili & Soup Cook-Off
by: Mindy Binnie
The Chili cook-off is a family-friendly event which promotes a sense of community and support for our students with Autism. Last year around 200 students and their families participated. It was a successful and fun event! The mission of EAST (Elkhorn Autism Support Team) is to provide support, education, and resources while increasing understanding about autism for students, school staff, families, and the community. Our supports include posting monthly tips for staff members to reference, problem-solving and collaborating with staff about the needs of specific students, and developing professional development for teachers, staff and community. The way we collect funds for our TEAM is through our annual Chili & Soup Cook-off, which will be held this coming March 3, 2020 from 5-7 in the Middle School Gym in Elkhorn. We have staff make up their favorite chili or soup and bring it to the cook-off for the community and staff to purchase and enjoy while supporting our Autism Team. In addition to the chili ticket sales, we have a raffle and live auction of different items and baked goods to help raise additional funds for our organization.
