This month, the Sun Room Cafe was a huge hit! Our students proudly served Shirley Temples to four classrooms, and the kids absolutely loved getting to top off their drinks with a bright red maraschino cherry!

As we head into March, we can’t help but wonder… what special surprise will our sneaky little leprechaun bring to the Sun Room Café next? Stay tuned! 🍀✨
