“Bringing a variety of fresh and healthy meal options to our school lunch menus in Schuylerville is a priority for the Food Services Department year round,” said Food Services Manager, Sarah Keen. “We are very proud of and thankful for the many partnerships we have and generous donations we receive throughout the year. Our students not only have greater access to healthy meals as a result, but great tasting ones, too!”
