Ginnie Brossard's fifth-grade class at Marvista partnered with the Normandy Park Starbucks store to collect over $600 worth of instant coffee donations for American troops in Afghanistan. Community members patronizing Starbucks during the weekend campaign generously added a packet of instant coffee to their other purchases, and students were there to collect the donated coffee. Care packages, including the donated coffee, will be shipped to the soldiers this week. "Thanks to the students and community, this will be a welcome treat this holiday season," said Mrs. Brossard.
