Purchasing

October is German-American Heritage Month!

Families from Germany began settling in Pennsylvania as early as 1683. Some of the more famous immigrants include John Steinbeck, Milton Hershey, and Albert Einstein. These great trailblazers have impacted our nation for the better. The influence of the American language is most notable with words such as "kindergarten" which means "child garden" in German. Kindergarten is a familiar term widely used in school districts across America. Other commonly used German words include noodles, brats, liverwurst, and bagels. Yum!
