South Orangetown Maker Faire is upon us!
If you’ve always wanted to engage in new ideas using hands on skills, come visit us on March 16th 6:30-8:30 pm. Consumer Science sewing wizards will be attending to show off their talents. Wondering how to draw a design on fabric and make a pillow? Please join us and have some fun looking at all the other exciting projects at TZ HS.
6th Grade Pillow Making Update
As we approach the last leg of our ‘pillow making unit’, it becomes more
and more clear how sewing is looked upon as ‘magical’ by the students, especially those who are stitching for the first time! They look brilliant as you will soon see!
Choose My Plate – Nutrition Unit
This interactive site from the USDA allows the student to research the five food groups, their nutrient content and much more. In time they will be able to create their own personal dietary choices with data on each food from SuperTracker.

Welcome to Family and Consumer Science
This class is designed to welcome grades 6th & 7th into a comfortable setting in which they will be challenged with Life Skills. They may expand on those skills which they have fundamental understanding of, or learn how to cook, sew, and work on cooperative projects for the first time. They will exercise decision making, and time management skills as well as participate in small group and whole class learning. Through their hands-on projects, students will feel increased self-esteem and confidence in their daily life.
