Punxsutawney Area School District Home

Dear Parents and Guardians:
We were recently made aware that a plastic spatula used in preparation deteriorated during Lunch A at the high school. Based on our review, we do not believe any students were served food containing plastic or any related contamination. Out of an abundance of caution, the prepared food was immediately discarded and a substitute meal was provided.
Student health and safety remain our highest priorities, and we will continue to monitor our food preparation procedures to ensure safe practices.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the district office at 814-938-5151.
