In Harlingen, students in the Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District's culinary arts program are spending their summer vacation learning to cook. At Gutierrez Middle School, these students are gaining hands-on experience in the kitchen. They have been preparing various dishes, including smash burgers and walking tacos.

This culinary training is taking place during their summer break, indicating an effort to keep students engaged and learning outside of the regular school year. Further details about the program and the students' activities can be found through local news sources, such as The Brownsville Herald, which has covered the event with photos by Miguel Roberts.
