Thanks to a grant three years ago from the SC Developmental Disabilities Council some Stall High School students can take pride in their role as the "bakery kids." Their proudest accomplishment? Providing cake pops, "cheesecake, rice cereal treats and a chocolate fountain with fruit" for the prom.
"Throughout the school year, students took online and paper orders from teachers. They even hand-delivered coffee to classrooms when teachers were having a 'coffee emergency.' Even some of the teachers have taken to calling the Recipe For Success Bakery 'Stallbucks.'"
In a cultural atmosphere that demands every student attend college it's rare to find some real-world job training that makes sense. These students not only have learned how to bake, they also have learned how to work as a team.
"Something positive to be proud of" should be the aim for every high school student's day.
