My Students

My students are special education students ages 14-19. They are always eager to help the janitorial staff by cleaning after lunch. I love that they are kind and loving not just towards each other but to the entire student body.

They helped me a few years ago while I was a junior class sponsor with the concession stand and the prom.

They did a fantastic job. I thought if they could handle all that, why not a coffee shop?

The skills they will learn while participating in this activity are marketing techniques, handling money, making and serving coffee, computer skills, time management, taking orders, customer service, and cleaning up.

My Project

These materials will make it possible for my students to run a business by learning about brewing coffees, lattes, and cappuccinos. We will learn very valuable marketing skills, Google forms and other computer skills, and customer service skills.

We will partner with the local coffee shop here in town, and learn from them how to make coffee, expressos, lattes, and cappuccinos.

Not only will we foster the students' skills but we will foster good community relations between the city and the school.

Please help us reach our goals by donating to our cause.
