☕✨ Something special is brewing at Sowers Middle School!
The Sowers Snack Store has been serving up more than just coffee and snacks, it's been serving up real-world skills, confidence, and community. 🙌
Students in the Sowers Special Needs program have been running their very own snack store and coffee cart all year long, taking orders, preparing drinks, managing deliveries, and greeting customers like the total pros they are.
🏷️🛒 This year, the program leveled up in the best way, welcoming general education peers to work side by side with their classmates, building friendships and breaking down barriers one cup of iced coffee at a time. 💛
And to cap off an incredible year? The Sowers Café, a culminating dine-in experience where families and Assistance League of Huntington Beach volunteers were invited to be served by students themselves. The ALHB has been an incredible partner, helping fund this program through their generous grants and making it all possible. 🤍
To Ms. Chung and Ms. Ridenour, every student in that red apron, and every peer who showed up to be part of something bigger, thank you for showing our community what inclusion really looks like. 👏
