Parkland School District will be running a Summer Feeding program to offer meals to students who depend on their school lunch for food during the school term. The meals will be available at the high school for people of all grades.

Casey Troutman, director of Food Services, reports in 2025-2026 school term, staff expanded the menu by including more fresh produce, more protein breakfast offerings and some from-scratch cooking.

On a personal note I can remember the cafeteria in the basement of the Schnecksville School, the cooks who worked there, the big aluminum pots, the gigantic mixer and the smells of the food drifting up through the building.

I was a fussy eater and did not like most of it. However, there was one meal I always looked forward to — sauerkraut and mashed potatoes.

We had it quite often and that was a treat for me. I can hardly imagine how children would react to a sauerkraut dinner served in their school cafeteria today.
