My Project

My high school students have recently started a classroom shop selling snacks to teachers. We do this as a service and as vocational training. They have gained so many skills related to communication, money, stocking, ordering, shopping, and more!

We would love to expand our business to include different types of coffee, both iced an hot in order to meet our customer requests and expand our skills.

The products I have selected will go a long way in helping our business expansion to get underway and then we will hopefully be able to continue funding through profits.
