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

2/27/2025

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

The project is designed like a small business, with the young entrepreneurs baking bread and donating the proceeds to charity. It involved researching ingredients, creating posters, presenting oral reports, and rotating roles—from baker to cashier—to learn all aspects of running a business. The class partnered with Bad Monkey in West Ocean City, where they learned how to make and bake the bread. At the end of the Bread Sale, students will count the money and donate the proceeds to Atlantic General Hospital (AGH).

Founded in 1970, WPS is a private, independent Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12 school located in Berlin, Maryland. Approximately 500 students attend from Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia. For more information about WPS, please visit www.worcesterprep.org or call 410.641.3575.
