My Project

Hi there! We have had a wonderful amount of support from Donor's Choose over the past few years! Thanks to your support and donations our culinary students have been able to start a small coffee business here at school. This business has allowed us so many opportunities! We have taught the students job skills, management skills, accounting, food safety, math, science and reading in fun ways. We needs some extra supplies such as plates, paper towels and various kitchen tools to keep our culinary program running.

In order to continue on this path, we also desperately need ink for our printer.

We have been without ink for a while and it’s been difficult for us to print out recipes and activities for our students.

We need your help to continue our progress and help our students learn through fun, real world activities. With your help we will be able to continue project-based learning opportunities for our students who otherwise would not have these opportunities.
