With summer arriving, the Italians know their stuff when it comes to flavorful, seasonal ingredients and light meals.  Join Chef Diane and create this full course dinner for warm weather cooking.  This summer, recreate this dinner for patio summer dining for yourself, friends or family.   In this class we will make:  Salad of Asparagus, Proscuitto & Ricotta Salata with Balsamic dressing, Chicken "Involtini" stuffed with fresh arugula pesto & roasted papers, Pasta with Heirloom Tomato Sauce and Lemon Mascarpone Berry Parfait.

Class includes cost of food and supplies.

As many of you may have heard, a decision was made at the February 17, 2022 school committee meeting with regard to the use of masks in Chelmsford Public School buildings.

The Chelmsford Public Schools have accepted guidance that will no longer require masks as of Monday, February 28, 2022. We will support an individual's choice to wear a mask and will promote a culture of acceptance and respect in the school community for an individual's need (or choice) to continue to mask.

To help us keep our community safe, please remember that if you are experiencing any symptoms of Covid19, please review the latest guidelines from the CDC to assure you are safe to attend. If you have tested positive for Covid19, a mask MUST be worn in any school building on days 6-10 from the date of a positive test result.

If you have any questions, contact the Commed office and we will be happy to assist you. We can be reached at 978-251-5151 or via email at commed@chelmsford.k12.ma.us
