Learning to bake involves math, attention to detail and lessons on kitchen safety. 5th graders from Haverhill Elementary are getting these hands-on lessons in their new Baking Club. A special thank you to Haverhill teacher Ms. Harrell and building substitute Ms. Cox for putting on such a great experience for the students. And thank you to Dr. Ledlow for opening up the Portage Northern High kitchen and to folks in the Transportation Department for getting these students to the high school for the club after school.
