The Challenge Team Breakfast,
cooked Up Sunnyvale-style
On December 15, 2010, The Art Institute of California–Sunnyvale hosted a continental breakfast for The Challenge
Team Sunnyvale, a community group that meets under the direction of the Sunnyvale Department of Safety to discuss
the challenges that youth and families face. This group, which consists of community members and leaders from a
variety of different backgrounds in education, judiciary, business, religious groups and health care, comes together each
month to find solutions to look for creative and compassionate methods to guide at-risk youth away from the damaging
influences of gangs and drugs by encouraging them to participate in positive lifestyle activities.
The faculty members of the culinary department at The Art Institute of California–Sunnyvale were pleased to work
with this group by hosting 60 members of this community organization on campus, along with students from the local
middle schools and high schools.
“The Art Institute of California–Sunnyvale was a tremendous host for our December meeting. Chef Jeff did a
marvelous job catering our meeting, and added to its success. We are very appreciative of his hard work and dedicated
service,” said James Davis, Neighborhood Resource Officer from the Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety.
Academic Director of Culinary Arts at The Art Institute of California–
Sunnyvale Jeff Glatstein was happy to donate his time and support
his community, working with the chefs in his department to prepare a
special breakfast for The Challenge Team. “It makes us proud to support
such an important cause. We were thrilled to have leaders from the
community and our local youth from the different high schools be present
at our campus. Everyone enjoyed the breakfast and many students were
interested in learning about the different programs offered here at The
Art Institute of California–Sunnyvale,” stated Glatstein.
The Challenge Team supports programs designed specifically for
elementary, middle and high school youth, as well as their families, from
the local public and private schools in the city of Sunnyvale.
