Everyone knows Mrs. Helms for her great math teaching skills, interactive math songs, and friendly personality, but what most people do not know is that she can make a fantastic sweet treat. This special snack is her famous white chocolate popcorn. Five years ago, Mrs. Helms started making the popcorn for her students as a substitute for candy. Mrs. Helms’ treat is a class favorite, and something all her students look forward to on special occasions. The sweetness and saltiness, along with the crunchiness of her delicious white chocolate popcorn, is better than any candy, and it never disappoints. Her popcorn leaves students begging for more. Mrs. Helms was kind enough to share her secret recipe with the Rocky Mount Academy family.
