Melrose Area 6th Graders were able to make fruit kabobs, an amazing and fun way to eat fruit. All students were eager to participate and super excited to eat the healthy snack that they made themselves.

Melrose Area 7th Grade Students experimented in the kitchen when making their first recipe of 2nd quarter. Half the class used store bought refrigerated pizza dough, while the second half made their dough from scratch. Both types of pizzas were topped with sweet green bell peppers and turkey pepperonis, and all students gave good reviews! Mmm!
Another great day in the kitchen!
