Tecumseh Class Store

Funded Sep 30, 2024

The Tecumseh Snack Shack has been a huge success. The students and staff have benefitted from this project in a number of ways. The students are learning how to keep an inventory of the snacks that we sell on a daily basis. They are learning how to make change and use a debit card reader. The students are learning to fill orders and how to interact with customers. These are skills that they will be able continue using in the future.

Our students are interacting with different staff members on a daily basis when they take the orders to the teachers. We have received many wonderful comments from the teachers about how much they enjoy seeing the students and interacting with them every day. Our teachers have been patient and helpful as the students practice making change.

We have formed community partners with business in our area. We have a bakery that allows us to pick up the product that didn't sell and allows us to sell them to our teachers.

The best thing about the Snack Shack is that it allows us to give the students experiences that they might not have otherwise. We were able to take the students to the movies to see Moana 2 before Christmas. The move went along with their News2U curriculum and was an exciting reward for all of their hard work with the snack shack. We look forward to continuing this project for many years to come.”
