WPS Grade 3 Bread Sale is Much More than Just Raising Dough

5/17/2022

Berlin, MD – Worcester Preparatory School (WPS) teachers Ms. Annie Seipp and Mrs. Maureen Raines and their students, hosted this year’s 3^rd grade Bread Sale as part of a hands-on learning lesson combining English, Science, Social Studies (civics and community), Mathematics and Philanthropy.

The project is modeled like a small business, with the young entrepreneurs baking bread, selling it to Lower School classmates in a “Café,” and donating the proceeds to charity. The project involved researching ingredients, creating posters, oral reports, and rotating jobs - from baker to cashier - to learn all the facets of running a business. This year, the class partnered with the Bad Monkey West in Ocean City where they learned how to make and bake the bread. At the end of the Bread Sale, the students counted the money they made ($403.00) and donated the proceeds to Atlantic General Hospital (AGH).

Celebrating 50 years, Worcester Preparatory School is an independent, college prep day school for Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12 students. Located minutes from the beach in Berlin, MD., the private school attracts an average of 500 students from Maryland, Delaware and Virginia.
