The Healing Power of Weekly Breakfasts for Grieving Students

Students at Bishop DuBourg High School in St. Louis, Missouri, formed the Wednesday Breakfast Club, gathering at 66-year-old Peggy Winckowski's house for a weekly breakfast. The tradition began after a student suggested his grandma could cook better than the diner they used to visit. However, tragedy struck when Peggy's grandson, Sam Crowe, was killed in a hit-and-run. Despite the loss, the students continued to gather at Peggy's house, finding solace and support in each other's company. The breakfasts have become a source of healing and a way to honor Sam's memory, creating a tradition that brings the community together.
