On Fridays, students in Mrs. Roedl and Mrs. Hill’s classes are running a coffee cart for elementary and middle school staff. Thanks to a startup donation from a local Girl Scout troop, students are gaining valuable life and social skills through hands-on experience. Tips earned from their hard work will help keep the cart running throughout the school year!
