☕️☕️☕️ Coffee Cart!!! Students in Mrs Middleton’s life skills class started a coffee cart business where they sell coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and snack cakes to staff. This business allows students to learn and practice important skills, such as greeting customers, taking and filling orders, and understanding the value of money.

The students of HES recently participated in FRYSC's "February Family Time" challenge. Throughout February, students spent time reading with their families. They picked ten dates on their calendars to read with their families for at least ten minutes. Additionally, they recorded three times when their family ate together without electronic devices. We cherish and value such special time spent with families, and we are proud of the efforts made by our students. Congratulations, Dragons! 🐉
