As we began this 2024-25 school year, I challenged our team to “BE THE SPARK”, inviting each of them to ignite the passion and innovation needed to lead our cafes to new heights. Just a single spark can start a fire, igniting ideas, thoughts and creativity that can then launch our teams into action. I want them to explore ways to encourage, inspire and uplift their students, co-workers and faculty. We never know what someone is going through: tough school assignment/tests, financial hardships, medical conditions or some other difficult situation they are dealing with, and a simple smile, eye contact and a quick hello can be all that is needed to brighten their day. So, join with us in this challenge to “BE THE SPARK” wherever we go!
