Coffee Shop Class Transformation

Help me give my students an inviting and relaxing classroom environment to learn by donating items to transform my room into a coffee shop/cafe!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Schrak's classroom raised $1,028

My Project

I would love to bring coffee shop vibes to my middle school math classroom with donations from people like you. Coffee shops and cafes always make me feel more relaxed and productive at the same time and I'm hoping my students will feel the same. This project will encourage flexible seating, which will increase my students' attention and focus on learning.

As a middle school math teacher, there are real-world concepts I would love to teach my students including business skills, financial literacy, and money management.

All of these skills can be learned through the lens of a coffee shop and I would love to have a classroom environment to make it more authentic.

I teach at a project-based learning school in North Carolina. Some of my students are taking high school level courses like Algebra 1 in 7th grade! Please consider donating - my students and I would really appreciate it.
