The volunteers who positively impact the school experience for students were celebrated at the Levittown School District Board of Education meeting on March 11. Superintendent Todd Winch and Board trustees recognized PTA leaders and members of the Food Services Committee.

Certificates were presented to officers from the Levittown Council of PTAs in addition to the unit presidents from each of Levittown's elementary, middle and high schools. Mr. Winch noted that it takes a lot of time to run a PTA well and "our PTAs go beyond running well."

PTA leaders, he added, put in countless volunteer hours to run numerous events and do an exemplary job supporting the district's families, students, teachers and administrators.

The Food Service Committee consists of volunteer representatives from each school and students from the secondary schools. They monitor the breakfast and lunch programs, working with district administration and food service company Chartwells.

Mr. Winch said that the Food Service Committee works to ensure the best possible breakfast and lunch experience for students, and noted the wide variety of food options offered in the cafeterias.

"Our PTA members and food service volunteers work behind the scenes to make so many wonderful things happen for our students," Mr. Winch said. "Our schools are better because they are part of it."
