My Project

Dear Possible Donors,

As a special needs teacher, I witness the incredible resilience and determination of our students every day.

Their unique abilities and unwavering spirit inspire us to create an inclusive and supportive environment where everyone thrives.

Our Vision: A Hot Cocoa Cart for Community Connection

We envision a hot cocoa cart rolling through our school’s hallways, spreading warmth and camaraderie. This isn’t just about chocolate; it’s about fostering connections. Imagine students, staff, and parents gathering around the cart, sharing stories, and building relationships. Our hot cocoa cart will be more than a beverage station—it will be a hub of community engagement.

Skill Development: Our students will actively participate in running the cart, gaining valuable life skills. From making hot cocoa to handling transactions, they’ll learn teamwork, responsibility, and customer service.

Inclusion: The coffee cart will be an inclusive space. Our students will serve not only teachers and staff but also their peers. It’s a chance for everyone to interact, regardless of abilities.

Fundraising: Revenue from the hot cocoa cart will directly benefit our special needs programs. Whether it’s sensory tools, adaptive technology, or field trips, every cup of cocoa contributes to our students’ growth.

The Warmth of Beverage Warmers

Beyond the coffee cart, we’re seeking donations for beverage warmers. These simple devices keep our students’ hot drinks cozy during chilly mornings. Imagine the joy on their faces as they sip warm cocoa or herbal tea, knowing that someone cared enough to provide this comfort.
