Through funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, PDE has awarded Martinsburg Elementary School a total of $34,691 for the purchase of a Double Stack Combi Oven. Each year, Ms. Kathy Hazenstab, SCSD Business Manager, submits Food Service Equipment Grant applications for each of our schools. These are highly competitive grants; and this year, PDE received 352 applications totaling over $4.9 million. In total, 72 buildings were funded through Pennsylvania’s allocation of $930,292. Spring Cove was the only district in Blair and Bedford Counties to receive this grant, and our award was the 7th highest award in the state.
