You don’t need to spend a fortune or take the time in the morning going to popular coffee shops around Liberty. There is a solution and that solution is called The Nest.
Many students, teachers, and administrators spend their time at The Nest in the mornings, but some LHS students don’t know anything about it at all.
“Being a freshman, I didn’t know anything about The Nest until I passed it one day and saw people walking out with coffee,” freshman Michella Anaya said. “I wish there was some advertising or the Link Leaders would have said something before school started because it’s a good idea.”
The Nest is available for teachers and students Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. The Nest offers traditional coffee, as well as different lattes, hot chocolate, hot apple cider, hot tea, and iced coffee for no more than two dollars.
If you think The Nest is run by teachers, you are very wrong. The Nest is run by the Special Service students.
“We were looking for ways to get our students more involved in the school as well as gain work experience.” Special Service teacher, Jessica King said.
Next semester, The Nest is moving location into the library which may cause confusion to LHS students. The location difference will have many new changes.
“Instead of just in the mornings, The Nest can have extended hours. We can also look into adding different features, and it will hopefully be made into a quiet study area,” King said.
There are many advantages to The Nest and it seems to be enjoyable for many people, including the Special Service students who run everything from making the drinks, serving the customers, cleaning up, to counting down the register at the end of the shift.
“I don’t have time in the mornings before or after school because of clubs and sports so I think the change is good for people who have time during the school day.” Anaya said.
You don’t need to waste your gas and spend all of your money at Starbucks or Caribou anymore. Not when you can simply get a drink by walking to The LHS Nest before school.
