Students learn job skills, show off Bills pride during workshop

Mazurek's Bakery and OLV Human Services held a baking workshop with Hamburg High School students on Wednesday, when they put together Bills cookie kits.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Local students got to show off Bills pride while getting in some baking on Wednesday.

Mazurek's Bakery and OLV Human Services held a baking workshop with Hamburg High School students, putting together Bills cookie kits while learning job skills, and not just ones that only help you work in a bakery.

"I think that them being able to actually to go into a workshop and gain some 21st-century skills, as we call them -- initiative, working with peers, responding to supervision, being able to go into a work site -- and get them is an experience that not a lot of kids get," according to Margot McMahon of OLV Human Services.

So why Bills cookies?

OLV says it's easier to get some buy-in from the kids when they're doing something supporting the hometown team.
