Cafeteria News and Notes

National School Lunch Week Celebrations in October at Bushkill Elementary were a huge success! There was a voting contest for their favorite "candidates" on the lunch menu during that week. The students were also surprised with a visit by "Freda the Fish" during lunch periods. Much fun was had by all! The Poll results were announced and there will be a special treat for the classroom winners before the Winter break.
