The Java Nook has reopened and is once again serving the WFS community!
Originally created by students in 2014, the Java Nook took shape in Business Meeting, where students dreamed it up, organized, and brought it to life. Open from the start of the school day until just before lunch, the Java Nook makes it easy for students to grab snacks and drinks during early morning free periods or study halls, and even in between doubles. Teachers, too, can stop by for their coffee and muffin fixes almost anytime during the morning.
Stop by, fuel up, and be part of the Java Nook’s return!
