The Sun Room Café had some extra holiday magic brewing this month! With a little help from the Grinch, Max, Olaf, and Sven, our team delivered festive cheer in every cup—serving Grinch Punch to our students, smoothies and cold brew to our staff, and celebrating our beloved annual Northside Polar Express Day 🚂✨
From mugs filled with cheer to hearts growing three sizes too big, it was a season of Whosie-whatsey, Who-hash, and kindness shared all around. We hope your holiday season is just as warm, joyful, and magical as a ride on the Polar Express. 🎄💚
