Re: Coffee is Healthy

[Jane Hyde <jhyde@CHRISTSCHOOL.ORG>]

        I totally agree.  Some of our wonderful teachers want to start a
library/coffeehouse/poetry night here, and I'm all for it!  What a great
idea!  There was a wonderful article a few years back, maybe in the
English Journal, about such a project that was very successful.
    But for anyone who thinks it's too messy and unhealthful, then you
must do it your way.
