Happy Friday, Battlers! The Kindness Café is a special project started by Izzy Mikkelsen, a junior at GHS. Izzy is leading a group of our high school girls in running their very own drink business!
At the beginning of each week, the girls pick 10 staff members to receive drinks. Then, throughout the school, they go face-to-face to take each staff member’s order from the café’s menu. On Friday, the selected staff members get their drinks for just $4 each. This project is about so much more than drinks—it’s teaching life skills like responsibility, teamwork, customer service, and money management, all while spreading kindness throughout Gettysburg School! The Kindness Café is proof that a little kindness (and a good drink!) can go a long way!
