Keeping the Daily Grind Grinding!

My students need coffee, cups, creamer, and coffee creamer to keep our coffee shop open for business!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sauls's classroom raised $186

This project is fully funded

My Students

My classroom is a self-contained exceptional children's setting. There are several students with Autism, Down's Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, and other various intellectual disabilities. They range from fourteen years old to nineteen years old. We preach independence and teach them to advocate for their own wants and needs. We do not hone in on their individual disabilities, but rather focus on what they are able to do. Today, that is brewing a fresh cup of coffee! Help these young entrepreneurs start up our first coffee shop!

My Project

Our students have been very successful in starting up their own coffee shop. We have sold 167 dollars worth of coffee, hot chocolate, and tea. We put a smile on each customer's face as we serve them a delightful beverage in the morning!

Our shop is running low on cups, coffee, sleeves, and more!

We need more supplies so we can continue to run our small business. We also are going to start baking and selling cookies at the Daily Grind with our Otis Spunkmeyer oven. They are learning social skills, money management, and independence through this entrepreneurship. Help us keep it going!
