U.S. Rep Lynn Jenkins visited USD 257’s Summer Food Program at noon Friday, making a point to congratulate Director Kathy Koehn on the program’s success.
Jenkins’ appearance was special, part of Lunch Across Kansas Month. The event, sponsored by Kansas Appleseed and the Kansas State Department of Education, encourages summer meals sponsors to provide activities or events to increase participation.
Science-themed activites on Friday in Riverside Park gave kids a fun look at various aspects of the discipline.
Koehn said having something special on Fridays had led to an uptick in the number of kids participating in the meals program.
Jenkins applauded the summer program as a good use of federal dollars flowing through the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
