LWJE Student Council and Art Club have been busy spreading kindness in a creative way! They designed and decorated Kindness Coffee Sleeves to connect with our community and share positive messages.
Over the weekend, our community partners—JB Coffee House, Firehouse Coffee Shop, and Exit 11— began handing them out. So next time you grab a coffee, be on the lookout for a little extra kindness with your cup! If you get one, snap a pic and share it using the hashtags below!
This project is a perfect example of our mission in action—empowering students through caring relationships and community partnerships. When students lead with kindness, they make a real impact!
