Summer Meals Turned Into Family Fun | Tulsa News
Description
Owasso Public Schools turned their summer meals program into a community hub, serving over 21,000 meals—nearly double last year—by adding fun, engaging activities like therapy dogs, first responder gear shows, and free haircuts. What started as a simple meal service became a vibrant family gathering spot, sparking laughter, games, and real connection between parents and kids. Director Jon Beckloff says the transformation made the cafeteria feel welcoming and lively, and they’re now planning to bring that same energy into the school year. It’s proof that creativity can turn everyday services into powerful community builders.
