Mrs. Wheeler's 7th grade Family & Consumer Science students are cooking meals for $2.50 per person!! The first group made hamburgers with all the fixings! Yum! For this unit, groups consist of either 2, 3, or 4 students and each table is given $2.50 per person to spend on ingredients needed to make food for their group. Things like ketchup and seasonings do not need to be added into the budget because we already have them in the pantry. Other meals students will be making are buffalo chicken wings, individual pizzas, hotdogs, rice & chicken and mini pumpkin pies.

Odyssey of the Mind has been a leader in education for 40 years. It emphasizes creativity, science, technology, engineering, the arts and math. The program began in Founder Dr. Sam’s innovative industrial design classes at Rowan University in the 1970’s. Dr. Sam believed learning should be fun, students should incorporate their own interests, there are always new uses for old items and the way you ask a question is everything.
