For the past several years, students in Mrs. Sebastian's class have been running a program called Mane Mugs. They take coffee and tea orders and make the drinks and deliver them to teachers on Monday mornings. Recently, students took some of the profits from the project and were able to fill up the Blessings Box on Water Street.
Don't miss out on the memories! Order your yearbook today.
