New Model PopFood Bakery Winning Over the Community

The PopFood bakery just finished up. This year, High School Computer Science Teacher Charles Forster Stewert and Visual Arts Teacher David Rubin led a team of student bakers making bread for three pop-up bread events. In addition to selling bags of bread on Fridays to families, they shared bread each week with the High School. On the first week, PopFood Bakery provided Italian breads and focaccia for both the after-school faculty equity meeting and as gifts for students as they left school. Next, they made French breads for sale and additionally gave Craquelin, a brioche-like loaf that is the national bread of Belgium, to every House. For the third week, we made Swedish breads and encouraged the entire High School to Fika (a Swedish coffee-and-snack custom) in their classes after lunch.
With this new model, PopFood Bakery baked multiple products each week, providing a variety of delicious breads for people at home and in school. PopFood bakers were able to connect with the whole community, literally breaking bread with their peers. From the beginning, the PopFood program has played with the alchemy of surprising people with food, and this year's iteration of the bakery was right in line with this mandate.
