Next week is National School Lunch Week. President John F. Kennedy created National School Lunch Week (NSLW) in 1962 to promote the importance of a healthy school lunch in a child's life, and the impact it has inside and outside of the classroom. We have selected fan favorites to highlight the week, as well as focusing on a "farm to table" day on Wednesday, featuring WV pork and fruits. And as always in Preston County Schools, all students eat for FREE.
TAEP would love to have parent/family volunteers. Please use the QR code or the following URL to complete the online application. Our volunteers are invaluable! Please join us! https://tinyurl.com/TAEPvolunteer
