We can't wait to use these items again and again throughout the year.

Through this experience, our students have the opportunity to take orders from staff members, prepare and deliver beverages, interact with others, and practice important workplace and communication skills. What may seem like a simple coffee cart has become a meaningful learning experience where our students are developing valuable life skills, building confidence, practicing responsibility, and learning what it means to provide excellent customer service.\r\n\r\nWe are so excited to continue growing this program and expanding the opportunities we can provide for our students. We are currently working toward Part 3, which will be coming soon! We are incredibly grateful for the support and generosity that has helped make Coffee Cart Fridays possible and allowed us to continue creating authentic, hands-on learning experiences for our students.\r\n\r\nThank you for all that you do to support our students and help them become successful, confident, and independent individuals. Your generosity truly makes a difference. The students get so excited when they see that we have received donations and that there are new items, supplies, or machines for them to learn how to use. Seeing their excitement and pride makes all of our efforts worthwhile.\r\n\r\nEvery donation, no matter the size, helps us provide our students with new experiences and opportunities to learn. It truly is the gift that keeps on giving—your support not only helps us today, but continues to create meaningful opportunities for our students as they prepare for their futures.","fullyFundedDate":1681219539315,"projectUrl":"project/coffee-cart-part-2/7232519/","projectTitle":"Coffee Cart Part 2","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Liss","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8971625_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y504&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1715795381435","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8971625"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_37911","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":403,"numTeachers":38,"percentFrplEligible":81,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":32,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":42,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":10,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":64.8,"schoolId":37911,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Horace Mann Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Horace Mann Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/wisconsin/west-allis-west-milwaukee-sd/horace-mann-elementary-school/37911"}
