A SPECIAL TREAT

By KELLY TOM

Every Friday at Washingtonville High School, something magical happens.  The smell of cinnamon buns fill the hallway and students know exactly what that means: It’s time for The Breakfast Bistro.

The Breakfast Bistro is a business run by the Aspire class in room 154.  Mrs. Angelillo, one of the teachers in charge of the business, stated that, “The bistro first started in the 2009-2010 school year and it’s amazing because it’s good for the kids, the building loves it and everyone looks forward to it so that’s why we keep it going every year.”

Not only is the bistro fun for everyone, but it is especially fun for the students in charge.  “I love that the students in our class get to interact with the general population.  Then they make lasting friendships.  When they’re in the hallway or the cafeteria, they see the kids that they’ve met at the bistro and they can socialize with them,” Mrs Angelillo claimed. 

The bistro is open to all students and the staff is always looking for volunteers.  Senior, Erin Wilson, stated, “I always love helping out and trying to do some volunteer work. When I was told I could help out at the bistro,  I automatically took advantage of it.  I love the teachers and the students involved.”

The Breakfast Bistro is a convenient way for students to make friends and get a snack that they can munch on in class.  “I just love waking up and going to bistro all year round.  It’s an energetic way to start my Friday mornings with the best people.  I know so many people who love going to the bistro every single week and it’s just amazing,” claimed Erin Wilson.  

The teachers, administration and students alike love the bistro, and it is a great way to interact with with the Aspire students running the show.   Stop by every Friday; you might just make a new friend.
