For the 2025-2026 school year, our Cougar Cafe Crew consists of six students in grades 3, 5 and 6. These students are being taught using our community based instructional model.  Additionally, we have general education students who join us for our reverse inclusion program- "Friends of the Cafe".  These students join us once a month for larger projects. We are very excited about the opportunities we are able to provide our students in the Cougar Cafe and out in our community!
