Aqus Cafe owner
brings juggling to
Spring Hill middle
school students
T
he Spring Hill School middle
school program was thrilled
to welcome John Crowley to
campus recently. Crowley is the owner
of Aqus Café, explains school spokes-
person Don Lewis. The collaboration
between the school and community
member is providing a program to
help Spring Hill students develop a
fun skill that not only teaches coor-
dination and concentration but also
helps with teamwork — juggling.
Under Crowley’s guidance, students
made their own set of four juggling
balls and then practiced juggling with
a partner. “Students had a wonderful
time with basic juggling skills, and
are excited for this ongoing program,”
shares Lewis.
