**Update**
Thank you so much! Several people have contacted school staff about or already have sent orders in for our Longhorn Cafe project. I got the first packages in the mail today. I just wanted to let you know how thankful we are for our community’s support. Go Longhorns!
Also, some have asked about other brands of items because some might be on sale at a local store. We are not picky at all and will gladly accept any donations of items that would work for a coffee cart, or mixes for cookies, brownies or muffins. Any donations can be dropped off at the elementary office.

There will be a free virtual Ok education & industry education partnership event tomorrow. There will be experts speaking about the field of cosmetology. Use the link below to register. Event starts at 10 am.
