Middle schoolers at Our Lady of the Elms in Akron are swapping takeout for hands-on kitchen skills with the new Elms Eats program. Every sixth to eighth grader gets a turn learning to cook, measure, and follow recipes—skills that go way beyond the microwave. The program even ties in with their school farm, letting students grow their own lettuce and herbs for meals. It’s not just about food: students are building patience, confidence, and independence. What’s your take—should more schools teach these kinds of practical life skills? #News #Akron #LifeSkills
