As part of their unit on Nutrition and Wellness, students in Mrs. Dekalb's Home and Careers class have been learning about the My Plate guidelines and cooking safety. Teamwork was on display today during class as students worked in groups to follow a recipe and make 4 -ingredient no-bake energy bites. They were delicious, and everyone had fun making them!
