Coffeehouse – The numbers are in, and we are absolutely blown away! Before we get to the grand total, we have a very special announcement regarding our Art Auction.
We had so many beautiful pieces on display, but one item stole the show and sparked a bidding war. We are thrilled to announce that Rebecca Fraser is the winner of this year’s top bid for her incredible crochet duck! For her creativity and hard work, Rebecca is the recipient of a $50 cash prize. Congratulations, Rebecca!
The final count proves just how much work 8A put into making this an amazing coffeehouse. To give you some perspective on how much we’ve grown over the last couple years:
• 2024 Coffeehouse: ~ $1,800
• 2025 Coffeehouse: ~ just over $2,000
• This Year's Coffeehouse: Over $3,800 in net profit!
We officially knocked it out of the park! This total will go a long way in supporting our school community.
To the students of 8A: you should be incredibly proud of yourselves. From the intense planning to the professional way you managed the event, your effort was the key to this massive success. Enjoy your well-deserved reward!
