The Cookbook Project
Funded Dec 3, 2024There are not enough words to express my joy, gratitude, and thanks for your generous donations to our class project. My students and I are so very appreciative of your support for education and creative, hands-on techniques for learning. We are looking forward to receiving the tools to create our own bound cookbooks. This will be a great tool as we continue to grow and learn in the classroom. We can't wait to share some pictures of us using our new equipment! Thank you again!”
With gratitude,

A Cup of Coffee Today...Skills for Tomorrow
Funded Aug 20, 2019Thank you so much for donating to our coffee cart project. When the items arrived, my students were so excited. We spent the entire class period unpacking and putting together all of the items. They then began the process of turning a corner of our classroom into a coffee shop.
We have used these items to build a business in our classroom from the ground up. They researched and wrote a small business plan. They then created a new name and logo. We are now known as Acorn Grrrind. Our mascot is the tiger. They used social media to create a marketing campaign. We have set up a deposit account in our school district and were gifted a cash register. The students created coffee recipes, created a menu, broke down the cost, and priced our items. They keep an inventory and they track sales.
Several of my students arrive at 7 am, 4 days a week, to make the coffee. It is a group effort to sell, make and distribute the coffee drinks across our campus.
My students are learning skills that they will carry with them into adulthood. Thank you for investing in them and their future.”
With gratitude,
