My Project

These EC Students are amazing! They have recently learned about money and are so proud of each new skill that they have learned. They are extremely excited to put their knowledge to good use by selling items to people in our school!

Using this self-service coffee cart, students will learn the essential job skills of taking money and making change, taking inventory, keeping items stocked on the cart, and interacting with others professionally.

These skills will help our students learn responsibility now and later help them succeed in actual job settings. Thank you for being a part of this!
