Rising Young Bakers at Weldon School

In Bienfait, SK, Weldon School is home to a remarkable group of young bakers. The Baking Club is made up of a handful of students from Grades 4 to 8. This energetic crew comes together every couple of weeks to whip up delectable dishes for their fellow classmates. 

An important part of the Baking Club is their dedication to contributing to the school breakfast program. They regularly bake items that can be served to their peers, ensuring a hearty and enjoyable start to the day. 

Some of the favourite menu items are pancake bites, homemade granola for yogurt parfaits and enticing fruit kabobs. 

Guiding these aspiring chefs is the devoted Baking Club teacher, Melanie Brandow, who teaches essential kitchen skills that will accompany these students throughout their lives. From prepping to following the recipe to cleaning up  – including washing, drying and putting away dishes – these young bakers master it all.  

The true highlight for Baking Club members is when they serve breakfast to their fellow classmates once a month. It’s a moment of pride and joy, as they share their baked goods with their peers. Their dedication to the Baking Club not only nurtures their culinary talents but also fosters a strong sense of community among the students at Weldon School.
