Feel free to check it out, but don’t wait too long, as the books and locations will continue to change! Maya would like to thank the Country Cardinals 4-H Club for sponsoring her project!

Highland students are excited to introduce a new business. The Cardinal Cafe was created by students and offers Highland staff the chance to order coffee, tea and other amazing drinks each Friday. Not only does the Cardinal Cafe provide an invaluable service to the Staff of Highland Community Schools it also gives students the opportunity to learn life skills. Before operations were underway, students had to calculate the cost of each individual item used to make one cup of coffee or tea. This information was used to assist in determining the price to charge their customers. Next, they had to organize their inventory and create an order form to help collect staff orders. The students send out an order form each week. On Fridays, the employees/business owners of the Cardinal Cafe are eager to come to school to brew and deliver the orders that have been placed. We think the staff members are just as thrilled to be served their hot and fresh cup of coffee as the students are to provide this valuable service.
