In honor of NATIONAL PRETZEL DAY

The first pretzel was created in

620 AD by a monk in southern France or northern Italy. It was originally

called a 'pretiola' and was renamed 'pretzel' later when it migrated to

Germany and Austria.

In the 17th century, pretzels were known as a marriage knot.

In 1861, pretzel twisting was the

highest-paying job in the Philadelphia region. Today, machines do the twisting.

Free & Reduced-meal forms can be obtained

from all building offices at any time throughout

the school year.
