I wasn't sure if my Student Council Coffee Cart project would get funded, so I was beyond thankful when I was able to get everything on my list to make this project a reality!\r\n\r\nThis project started as an idea to give students the opportunity to gain real world experience by learning to measure, follow recipes, and provide good customer service to our staff. However, it has turned into even more than that. It has been a learning experience for me as well!\r\n\r\nOnce I received all of the items from my list, including the coffee cart, refrigerator, scales, coffees, and syrups, I had to find a place to keep everything organized and a way to track all of the supplies. I also needed to think through how to train the students so they would feel confident and be successful once we got started making coffee orders.\r\n\r\nI spoke with their teachers and pulled the students one morning to go over how to work the Keurigs, follow the recipes, and measure each ingredient so they would have the correct proportions. I walked them through everything step by step and had them practice making coffee using water. They were so excited to learn how to do this and couldn't wait to get started!\r\n\r\nOn our first day, I had several other students stopping by the science lab to see what we were doing. I set the students up in stations so each group could focus on one recipe. Once we completed an entire hallway's order, they would deliver the coffees to the teachers. The students kept telling me how excited they were to see the smiles on the teachers' faces when they delivered their orders. That was one of my favorite parts!\r\n\r\nThe coffee cart itself has been one of the biggest lifesavers for me! It gives me a place to store my syrups, scales, cleaning supplies, hot pot, and several other items we need. The refrigerator has allowed me to keep all of the coffee cart supplies separate from the rest of the building while making it easy to see what I need to restock each week. The Keurigs and mats have also helped me keep each station organized and separate, and having two Keurigs allows us to make the coffees much faster.\r\n\r\nThe staff in our building have repeatedly told me how much they look forward to Fridays so they can enjoy these specialty coffees. They have also shared how impressed they are that our students are getting real world experience in measuring, following recipes, being responsible, and providing customer service.\r\n\r\nThis Student Council Coffee Cart project has truly turned into so much more than just students making coffee on Fridays. It has brought joy and learning to our students and a little extra joy to our staff. This has been a real blessing for our campus!\r\n\r\nI truly appreciate your generosity and willingness to fund my project. Because of you, our students have had an opportunity to learn new skills, build confidence, take responsibility, and experience the joy of serving others.
