My Project
We're launching a hands-on snack cart project to teach our special education students essential life and job skills—like money management, customer service, and responsibility. Students will run a snack cart that serves teachers and staff, gaining real-world experience that builds confidence and prepares them for life beyond school.
Plus, it helps raise funds for our classroom for Community Access Trips!
How Will This Project Help?
We're seeking supplies—the carts, and storage carts, to bring this idea to life. The carts will be needed to roll around the snacks, a filing cabinet to store files and to put our printer on for signs!
With your support, our students will:
Learn to budget, price, and handle money
Practice customer service and communication
Gain job experience in a supportive environment
This project turns learning into action and empowers students with skills that matter.
Our students are determined, enthusiastic learners who thrive with hands-on experiences. Despite their challenges, they’re motivated to succeed—and this coffee cart gives them a chance to shine, take pride in their work, and contribute to our school community.
By supporting this project, you’re helping students build real-world skills, self-esteem, and brighter futures. We appreciate your generosity!
