Once a week our program runs the Wildcat Cafe. We open up the Cafe to the teachers and administration and serve them lunch in either sit down or carryout fashion. Once each year, our program also hosts a Teacher of the Year banquet and a Service Employee of the Year banquet. We also cater for teachers not only at the school, but to the entire Stafford County School District. We have also filled out orders from student run events, like Princess Boot Camp.
