Did you know that Cedar Shoals has it's very own coffee shop? The Hot Jags Cafe, run by students in Ms. Burnsed and Mr. Bale's classes is designed to develop and cultivate life skills. Every Friday, students take, fill, and deliver orders for faculty and staff. Hot Jags proceeds go to fully funding the coffee shop, allowing it to be a self sustaining business in which the students take part in making financial decisions by participating in tracking sales and products.
