MAPLEWOOD, NJ — In honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday, join the South Orange-Maplewood Adult School and author CC Minton, a West Orange resident, to hear the story of “Daddy’s Greek Potato Pie” on Saturday, March 3, from 9 to 10:30 a.m at Columbia High School, 17 Parker Ave. in Maplewood.

Students in kindergarten through fourth grade will learn about science, math, weighing, measuring and problem-solving while mixing, mashing and preparing their own Greek potato pie to take home. In honor of National Nutrition Month, the young chefs will learn about and use ingredients from all five food groups included in the USDA’s ChooseMyPlate chart. There will also be a special appearance by 6-year-old Maplewood resident Elisha Wasden, who was the inspiration for one of the main characters in the book.
