FARMINGTON — The King Arthur Flour Company of Norwich, Vt., will visit the Mt. Blue Middle School on Thursday, Nov. 18, to teach 368 seventh- and eighth-grade students to bake fresh, nutritious bread from scratch through its Life Skills Bread Baking Program.

Students will then use their newfound skill to bake their own loaves for donation to the Care and Share Food Closet. Assemblies will be held in the gym at 8:30 a.m. and 9:45 a.m.

The King Arthur Flour Life Skills Bread Baking Program visits students in grades four through seven in schools across the country and in the past decade has taught more than 100,000 schoolchildren how to bake bread.

Students bake the bread at home with their families, then bring a loaf back to school to be donated to a local food pantry or homeless shelter.
