| The C.A.F.E. (Cafeteria Alternative For Everyone) has been a great success and is set to restart soon. We did a six week program three days a week at the old guidance space and small gym in the Spring. We had these spaces open for the lunch blocks and provided areas where kids could hang out with friends, listen to or play music, games, get help with homework or just relax. |
