Mini Cup Hours (Mimi Ehlen Library): Tuesdays and Thursdays before school, during lunch, during SDL and Activity Bell 

Mini Snack Hours (Mimi Ehlen Library):  Monday, Wednesday, Friday between bells 1 and 2

Team Meetings: Approximately twice a month during lunch/SDL to review our progress and to share new ideas

Cost:

Free

Anticipated # of Students:

20-30 Students

Expected Parent Involvement:

Students working the before-school shift must arrive by 7:15 a.m.

Notes:

  • Mini Cup profits go toward equipment, supplies, and need-based Service Intersession and field trip scholarships.
  • Advisers select student managers who supervise shifts, train new staff members, and create shift schedules.
