My Project

Giving our special education students some real life experience!

We are starting a Coffee Cart to give our impacted students the opportunity to learn the skills it takes to hold a job.

We will be conducting job interviews, doing on the job training and practicing manners! The students will be collecting coffee orders, making the coffee and collecting the money. They will have to give the correct change back.

The money we raise from having the coffee cart will go directly to our program for field trip to outings in the community. This is so important for our students to gain life skills!
