WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING

Introducing Bulldog Brew: The Student-Run Coffee Cart at Monroe County Middle School!

Get ready for some caffeinated fun every Friday as some our amazing classes present "Bulldog Brew" - a coffee cart run by our students in a unique learning experience! 

"Bulldog Brew" is not just about delicious drinks. It's a platform for our students to apply essential concepts they've learned in their classes. With a focus on teamwork, responsibility, and customer service, our students gain invaluable hands-on experience and see firsthand how skills from math and language arts can be applied to real-life situations. In operating the coffee cart, students work on communication skills, problem-solving skills, and money management while interacting with teachers and staff throughout the school. 

A big shoutout to our incredible sponsor, Northside Pediatrics, for making Bulldog Brew possible. Their generous support has opened up this fantastic learning opportunity for our students, equipping them with the skills they need for future endeavors.
