Good morning, Portage County. The food truck season is rolling back into Streetsboro this week, bringing a movable feast of culinary delights to City Hall. From The Brunch Box's morning specialties to Black Kettle BBQ's smoky offerings, these mobile kitchens will be serving up lunch options daily through October at 555 Frost Road. It's a sure sign that spring has officially arrived when the food trucks return to their familiar spots around the community.
Meanwhile, those small aluminum pull tabs you might normally discard are becoming powerful agents of change through the 2025 Pull Tab Palooza. Collection events in Akron, Cleveland, and Poland next month will transform these tiny metal pieces into meaningful support for families staying at Ronald McDonald Houses. And locally, Ravenna Schools faces a pivotal moment with its proposed levy—the first request for additional funding in two decades—as officials work to maintain local control and build on the district's 92% graduation rate.

🍔 Food trucks roll back to Streetsboro City Hall this week. Various vendors will serve meals from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily through October, with some potentially staying later if business is good. The weekly event is organized by the Streetsboro Parks and Recreation Department at 555 Frost Road. This week's lineup includes The Brunch Box and Smash Wagon on April 21, Wheely Good and Birdies on April 22, Manna on April 23, Black Kettle BBQ on April 24, and Gyro Bob with Freaky Fruits on April 25.
🥫 Pull tabs turn into heartwarming help at three Ohio drop-off events. The 2025 Pull Tab Palooza invites community members to donate aluminum pull tabs from beverage cans to benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities. Collected tabs are recycled, with proceeds supporting the organization's Family Fund for families staying at Ronald McDonald Houses while their children receive hospital treatment. The free community events will take place May 1 in Akron, May 3 in Cleveland, and May 6 in Poland, featuring music and prize wheels. Each pound of aluminum (about 1,000 tabs) helps provide a more comfortable environment for families during difficult times.
🏫 Ravenna Schools levy is crucial for maintaining local control. The 5.47-mill levy would provide $2.75 million annually to prevent state takeover of the district's finances. If rejected, the Ohio State Auditor's Office could determine courses, sports, and busing levels. Despite financial pressures, Ravenna Schools boasts a 92% graduation rate and improving test scores. The levy would cost homeowners approximately $16 monthly per $100,000 of property value—the first additional local funding in 20 years.
