Every Friday, the halls of Westwood Middle School buzz with extra excitement thanks to the Redhawk Coffee Cart, a scholar-run initiative that delivers hot beverages and big smiles to staff. Scholars in Mikaila Workman’s class take orders, craft drinks, and serve coffee, tea, or hot chocolate, brightening the day of every staff member they meet.

“The coffee cart is a great opportunity for my class to practice social skills and life skills,” Workman said.

Orders are placed the day before, and staff can personalize their drinks with cream, flavored syrup, or other add-ons. Each drink costs just $1, and at the end of the year, the money collected will go toward a reward chosen by scholars.

Melvin Shelton, Scholar Success Coordinator at Westwood Middle School, believes that the obstacles scholars face in their life today do not have to determine their future.

“I believe I make an impact by modeling perseverance, resilience, and consistency,” Shelton said. “I strive to be a positive role model and someone students can look up to - showing them through my actions that success is attainable with hard work and determination.”
