On National School Lunch Hero Day, we are thanking our amazing food service staff for all they do! School lunches sure aren’t what they used to be… In fact, today EHS students sampled tamales, pepper jack pretzel bites, and mini chocolate lava cakes!

The Ephrata Area School District recently received a donation - over $3,500 - from the GIANT Company to be used within the Food Services Department. Through the Feeding School Kids initiative, the GIANT Company and its customers raised money to address the issue of childhood hunger throughout local public school districts in the communities they serve. Customers at GIANT stores were invited to round up their grocery purchases to the nearest dollar or convert their “choice” points into a donation for their local public schools’ food programs. “We are grateful for this donation. It will aid in ensuring that all students in the District have adequate access to meals, helping students to reach their full potential,” stated District Food Service Director Teri Gamez. (Students and staff pose for a photo with a GIANT Company representative.)
Students in grades 4-5 - who signed-up to read approximately 25 books since December - collaborated in teams to compete in the EASD Reading Olympics!
