My Project

I absolutely love how kind, hardworking, and eager to learn my students are. They come to school each day ready to grow, and they thrive when given hands-on, meaningful experiences that build real-life skills.

The coffee cart allows my students to practice communication, teamwork, and responsibility in a fun, supportive way.

Each supply—cups, stirrers, creamers, and more—plays a part in helping them run a successful small business. From greeting staff to preparing orders, my students are learning job skills, social interactions, and independence that will serve them well far beyond the classroom. These resources help turn everyday moments into powerful learning opportunities.
