☕ Coffee Cart Thursdays & Fridays at Brownstown Middle School! ☕
Every week, Mrs. Henderson and Ms. Stoops bring a little extra warmth to BMS with the Coffee Cart, a program that’s serving more than just drinks.
On Thursdays during 4th hour, teachers place their orders ahead of time and students in Mrs. Henderson’s Cross-Categorical classroom get hands-on practice filling out receipts, preparing drinks, and delivering orders throughout the building.
On Fridays during 1st hour, the Coffee Cart rolls again—this time stopping at classrooms proudly displaying the Coffee Cart logo.
This program gives students meaningful opportunities to build expressive and receptive language, strengthen social and conversational skills, practice life skills, and gain confidence… all while spreading joy throughout BMS!
The cart offers coffee, hot chocolate, teas, smoothies, and even baked goods. Purchases are open to BMS teachers and staff using cash or a punch card.
Thank you, Mrs. Henderson, Ms. Stoops, and our amazing students, for making Coffee Cart such a special part of our week!
