A former Creekview High School student will be memorialized in the school's coffee shop where he loved to hang out.On Monday, the school will dedicate its Lazy Bear Cafe to the memory of Nick Waters, a special needs student who died in March.
The ceremony will begin at 2:30 p.m. The school is located at 1550 Owens Store Road in Macedonia.
The coffee shop, which is housed in a old book and magazine storage room in the media center, had a soft opening in March and Waters was the greeter at the shop two weeks before his death, said Sherry Wallace, a special needs teacher at Creekview.
The coffee shop is open from 8 to 10 a.m. Mondays through Fridays and is run by 18 mild to moderate special needs students. The students also have two regular education peers who help with the operations.
