Nutrition Students Win National
‘Community Kneads 9 Contest
LANCASTER - The Lancaster
Mennonite High School Foods and
Nutrition II class, under the
direction of teacher Deborah
Van Pelt, recently won the top prize
in the Fleischmann’s Yeast
national “Community Kneads”
contest with first place in the
Eastern region and in the state.
For their project, titled “Rise
Above Yourself,” the 15 students
taught nutrition and bread baking
to elderly and mentally retarded
residents of the MountviUe Pines
Personal Care Home, 128 West
Main St., MountviUe. The students
used a slide show, skit and a
nutrition shuffle-board game to
show how the four food groups are
an important part of good eating
and snacking. In addition, they
helped the residents experiment
with easy recipes that are high in
protein, calcium and fiber and low
in salt, sugar and fat.
Concerned about the residents as
total persons, the students also
introduced simple exercises and
made one-to-one visitation an

important part of the project.
Some of the students plan to
continue meeting with the
residents.
The top prize is a $2,000 trip the
students plan to take in July. They
choose Toronto as their
destination. The students also won
a $l5O pizza party which they
shared with the residents at the
Mountville Pines Personal Care
Home. Van Pelt, as the teacher,
won a $3,000 trip.
The winning entry, a 100-page
journal of writings and photos that
was presented to Fleischmann’s in
March, capsulizes the daily events
of the project. The yearly contest is
designed to help home economics
or health students in the United
States learn how to prepare yeast
breads and become involved in
their communities.
Last year the Foods and
Nutrition II students at LMH won
first place in the state and second
place in the Eastern region of the
country.
