RICHMOND, Va. — Starting the day off with cinnamon rolls and coffee is a guaranteed win, but there is a bonus: 100% of the purchase will go towards a Richmond Public School teacher.
Interested parties seeking savory karmic goodness with icing and strong coffee need only show up at Ironclad Coffee Roasters, between 8 and 11 a.m. on Thursday. The shop is located at 2904 W. Moore St., in the rear building.
C&C Cinnamon Rolls and Idle Hands Bread Company will provide the delicious treats.
The event is part of the LovingRVA Mornings fundraising series held at the Scott’s Addition coffee shop. The beneficiaries alternate monthly, between the Richmond SPCA and teachers in the RPS system.
This month 100% of the proceeds raised go directly to boost the classroom expenses budget of Ms. Rohoma Sims, a third-grade teacher at Overby-Sheppard Elementary School in Northside.
“My name is Rohoma Sims. I am from the small town of South Boston, Virginia. I am a graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University where I had the honor of receiving my bachelor in Interdisciplinary Studies of Elementary Education and Master’s of Teaching.
I became a teacher for Richmond City Public School at Overby-Sheppard Elementary because it is the place I feel I am touching lives and making a difference. Everyday is an adventure and I enjoy taking it with my students each year.
Donations would be a blessing for my students. Most of my students struggle with purchasing the school supplies needed to have a successful year. I typically buy supplies myself which can become quite expensive. I also try to give my students real life hands on experiences which can be very expensive. Any donations given to us will go towards school supplies and materials for activities. Anything given will be appreciated and put to great use.”
