Kids Spreading Kindness with a Pop Up Cafe

Help me give my students the opportunity to Pay it Forward through a Kindness Cafe

My Project

This Mother's Day our school launched a Community Event to celebrate women in the community, Moms, Grandmas, Aunts and Caregivers for our students. It's important for our students to recognize there is a community outside the school that supports them and we want them to learn to Pay it Forward thought a Pop Up Cafe for Mother's day. The surrounding community and neighborhood that they live in helps make them who they are. Spreading kindness with a treat and a coffee pick-me-up is an idea that our students came up with themselves and are SO incredibly excited to be able to do this for their community and neighborhood moms.

During the event, community partners will choose a beverage such as the Starbucks Refreshers, Starbucks Nitro Brew, San Pellegrino soda, Starbucks Frapaccino drinks, Starbucks Triple Shot or Starbucks Double Shot and use the Freshware cups to serve them.

The Nonnis Almond Biscotti and Nonnis Thin Addictives and Biscoff cookies will serve as a sweet treat to thanks for all they do for the children in the school.
