We're Back!

Throughout the challenges of the past year, our program has continued to run and our students are finally ready to share some of their work. We're offering a box of seasonal cookies just in time for Easter!

Each beautifully packaged box contains delicious cookies made by our hard-working students. Cookie boxes are just $10 and help support our transition program and the students who make them.

Cookies will be available for pick up at Woodlawn Community Academy on Thursday, April 14. They would make a great addition to your Easter dinner or even a hostess gift.

There are limited quantities so make sure to order ahead. Click the link below for more information. Thank you in advance for supporting the Swanky Swine!

Our summer cooking students had an amazing trip to the St.Petersburg Museum of Fine Arts. They loved working in a real kitchen, eating their delicious creations and exploring the museum's exhibits.

We'd like to extend a huge thank you to the St.Petersburg Museum of Fine Arts and Lisa from Olympia Catering who facilitated such a great experience for some of our summer school cooking students.

The students toured the cafe kitchen and made their own lunch. Then, 2 of the museums curators walked the students through a visiting exhibit exploring the culture and food of different time periods.

We ended week 3 of Summer School with an incredible trip to Cody's Roadhouse thanks to Suzy Sofer, Belleair Bluffs Commissioner.

The students were given a tour of the restaurant, watched the chefs cook that amazing bread, helped set up the tables and ate a delicious lunch. Thank you Suzy for your hospitality!
