Our Student Council members were very helpful with a worthy project!  On Thursday, January 26th, a speaker from the King Arthur Baking Company taught all of our fourth, fifth, and sixth graders how to bake bread!  She explained the Math and Science concepts involved with making dough, letting it rise, and baking it into loaves, cinnamon rolls, or pizza.  Each student was given two bags of flour, a recipe booklet, yeast, and a dough scraper.  Students were challenged to bake bread with their families over the weekend and return one loaf of bread on Monday, January 30th.  The loaves were then donated to the Atlanta Food Bank to benefit those in need.  We collected 197 loaves of bread to donate!!!  We are so proud of our students!  Thank you so much to our Student Council members for their help and to all the students who baked a loaf of bread for the needy!
