Berlin, MD – On Wednesday, March 5, Worcester Preparatory School (WPS) teachers Ms. Annie Seipp, and Mrs. Cynthia Phillips and their students presented members of the Atlantic General Hospital (AGH) Board of Trustees with a donation raised from the annual 3rd Grade Bread Sale.
The annual 3rd Grade Bread Sale is 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, giving verbal presentations, and rotating jobs - from baker to cashier - to learn all the facets 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, the students counted the money they raised ($431.78) and donated the proceeds to 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.
