Fourth-graders bake up a fundraiser that all the students want to help.
As a steady line of Mt.

Of course, this bread wasn't from some store or area bakery: the students had made it themselves as a project that followed a brief study of bread. Teacher Susanne Sage said a group of fourth-grade students in an interest cluster studying "The Wonder of Bread" envisioned something more than a treat after learning more about it.

Thursday's event offered peeks into other cultures.
