Students are having a great time learning how to run a business through making hand-crafted coffee beverages using the supplies purchased with this grant. Throughout the year they have:\r\n- Developed a name for the business (Coffee on 7th), a logo, and a marketing plan.\r\n- Surveyed staff for drink and coffee preferences to develop a menu.\r\n- Visited a local coffee truck for a tour, a Q&A on how to run a coffee business. They also received hands-on training for pulling espresso shots.\r\n- Researched and learned how to make their own syrups for coffee beverages.\r\n- Created an order and delivery system for the business.\r\n- Developed an accounting system to track expenses, profits, and teacher accounts.\r\n- Developed a system for running the business on a day-to-day basis.\r\n\r\nThe staff has been raving about their beverages as well. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with a particular love of the hand-made syrups students are making to flavor the drinks.\r\n\r\nSo far, students are learning important math and career readiness skills, including profit and cost calculation, customer satisfaction, keeping up with a schedule, and so much more. I cannot thank you enough for making this happen for my students. They often let me know how much they love this project. They are learning responsibility, teamwork, and math. You made this happen, and I so appreciate you.","fullyFundedDate":1760541389303,"projectUrl":"project/loving-math-a-latte-a-student-run-coffe/9786734/","projectTitle":"Loving Math a Latte: A Student-Run Coffee Business","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Carter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2185109_orig.jpg?crop=821,821,x139,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1572612903813","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2185109"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_2319","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":430,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":33,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":86,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":68.7,"schoolId":2319,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Evergreen Community Charter School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Evergreen Community Charter School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/north-carolina-department-of-education/evergreen-community-charter-school/2319"}
