I am requesting supplies to get my students started in running their own coffee shop. We will be need two Keurig coffee makers to accommodate physical needs, environmentally friendly San Francisco Bay K-Cups, cups and sleeves and lids, creamer, sugar, and an organizer where the students will sort needed materials for ease of use. We have also requested two aprons for a nice professional look while delivering, and a lock box to store funds for continuing our operation. All people, regardless of need, deserve the chance to contribute to their community in a meaningful way. From delivering order forms and coffee, organizing our work space, choosing our name and designing a logo- this coffee shop will be a thing my students build and run as independently as possible. All proceeds from the business will be going back into the business to keep it running throughout the year. A classroom coffee shop will give my students this opportunity, while we continue to work on functional academic skills and professional work skills in an authentic setting. I am so looking forward to building a brighter future for my students and our Special Education classrooms here in my district.
