‼️Attention Central Lee‼️ The Perch is proud to announce our Grand Opening! For some time the Entrepreneurship class has been tossing around ideas on how to get more public. So, on our Grand Opening we have decided to introduce new items like vanilla lattes, caramel lattes, hot chocolate, non-sugar creamer, and more. Coming soon will be iced coffee and even delivery of these products right to you down to the K-8 for staff! Through next Tuesday,we will have a game of the day which, if won, will get you a dollar off of your purchase, other specials offered will be punch cards given out, if you get your card hole punched 9 times you get the 10th item free! Staff members will be able to pay for a membership of $25 and get one drink a day of any size for the rest of the month! Thank you Central Lee for your patience as we continue to get our processes down. We hope you all enjoy what is to come. #CTEworksforCL
