Big Apple Crunch
During the week of October 23rd, we celebrate New York State's apple harvest with the Big Apple Crunch! All students and staff in the district put aside what they are doing to take a big bite of a locally grown apple. Mrs. Kim Roll from food services is able to provide, coordinate, and distribute over 8,600 apples district-wide for the crunch!
Harvest Festivals and Wellness Nights
Each year a district wide elementary Harvest Festival is held in the Fall and a Wellness night is held in the Spring. All elementary students and families are invited to attend. The nights include a variety of activities and games along with taste testing and produce to take home for all families.
2024 Fall Harvest Festival - October 17th at Holmes Elementary

Harvest of the Month
Ken-Ton school's food service promotes a Harvest of the Month that highlights fruits and vegetables that are featured on the monthly lunch menus. Students will learn about the benefits of the foods in school, have an opportunity to try them as a part of the school lunch program, and use the recipe on the back of the lunch calendar to make a fun recipe at home. Click HERE for the monthly menu.
Smoothie Bike
What do you get when you combine exercise, strawberries and yogurt? Smoothies, of course! Ken-Ton has a smoothie bike available for classes to use some muscle and hard work to create healthy and most of all, yummy smoothies!
Wellness Policy Update
The Ken-Ton District Wellness Policy has been updated and was board approved in June 2023. The nutritional standards we will use for all food items will follow the "Safe Snacks in Schools" rule. Please click HERE for the Wellness brochure to find out more information on our updates.
