Specially Brewed Coffee, a heartwarming initiative led by Melody Silver, her team and her students from Yowell Elementary School, brought joy and warmth to the staff at CTEC last Friday. Beyond serving up delicious coffee and bagels, this unique team serves up invaluable life lessons, learning essential social skills through their coffee-serving experiences. As they efficiently delivered orders with beaming smiles, their presence left an indelible mark on the hearts of everyone they encountered.
After completing their delightful coffee rounds, the students were treated to an enriching tour of the CTEC premises by Principal Shaun Summerscales. The tour wasn't just a stroll through the hallways; it was an immersive experience that allowed these special students to explore new realms. From sitting in a mock ambulance to listening to their own heartbeats with a stethoscope, every moment was filled with wonder and discovery. Their excitement was palpable as they marveled at the automotive bays, where they observed the cars that are being meticulously worked on, broadening their horizons with every new encounter.
This heartwarming interaction between Specially Brewed Coffee and the CTEC staff exemplifies the profound impact of fostering inclusivity and understanding in our communities. Through simple acts of kindness and shared experiences, barriers are broken, and bridges are built. As these remarkable students continue to spread joy and cultivate essential life skills, they serve as a poignant reminder of the boundless potential within each and every individual, regardless of ability.
