My Project

These items are crucial to our student-led coffee shop. These items and this process will help students develop the life skills and vocational skills needed to be successful when they join the workforce. Students will be tasked with taking orders, making the orders, delivering the orders, and then cleaning up and counting the money the students earned that day. Students will also learn how to work with others and proper sanitation and safety protocols when working with food. This will be occurring every other Friday. Thank you in advance for your support in The Perk.
