My Project

Our life skills students have been interested in starting their own student-led business! They would like to start up a coffee cart for teachers and staff around the building. This coffee cart will provide students with valuable job skills like counting money and giving change, taking orders and customer service along with all the fine motor skills necessary to pour coffee! Additionally, the money made from the coffee cart will be used on community outings for our students. This supplies list has everything we need to start taking orders, please consider donating!
