Students take on meaningful roles—preparing drinks, taking orders, practicing customer service, and working as a team. One especially meaningful moment was watching a student independently greet a customer, confirm their order, and complete the transaction with confidence. These are skills that don't always show up in traditional classroom settings, but they truly shine in this environment.\r\n\r\nYour support is helping our students take meaningful steps toward employment and greater independence, and we are deeply grateful for your investment in their future.","fullyFundedDate":1758807380351,"projectUrl":"project/adaptive-espresso-machine-increases-acce/9748740/","projectTitle":"Adaptive Espresso Machine Increases Access, Inclusion, and Skill-building for All.","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2930257_orig.jpg?crop=757,757,x737,y293&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1728078796476","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/coffeecartproject"},{"teacherId":2930257,"projectId":9014241,"letterContent":"Thank you again for your generosity.
