Come see us and consider a donation for this wonderful program. \n\n\n\nWhat do we teach at Coffee Cup and “why?”Easy answers are “Entrepreneurship\,” “Hospitality\,” “Business.”Yet in reality\, our aims are far more subtle and significant.We teach that life is a series of acquired skills – and that mastery is achievable\, exciting\, and fun. \n\n\n\nMuch of school\, by necessity\, is a head down and pencil up to learn facts. In Coffee Cup\, our heads are up\, and we teach students to look adults in the eye\, requesting and receiving information\, processing it accurately and efficiently\, and completing tasks in a team with others. Of course\, we discuss concepts like “types of businesses\,” “expenses” and “net profit.” But then we translate those concepts into actions. \n\n\n\nAfter each Thursday morning cafe closes\, students are able to count how many cups of coffee\, tea and hot chocolate we’ve “sold” (remember\, all of our beverages are given to school staff for free)\, how much we’ve received from sales to the public\, and how much we brought in through donations.Yet even those numbers are important only in context.Before any sale is made\, students have learned how to take an order and fulfill it. And this is no small feat. \n\n\n\nThink about it: We ask 4th graders to walk through their school\, find adult staff members\, ask them if they would like a beverage\, and take an accurate order from them (which includes writing the adult’s name\, room number\, and how much sugar\, cream\, etc. they’d like on an order form). Then\, this student must return to the cafe area and wait patiently while the order is filled by other classmates\, who use the information that’s been collected to make the beverage correctly. Once the order is completed\, the student must retrace their path back to that same adult\, and deliver the order with a smile and a thank you.This happens 60 – 90 times within an hour on Thursday mornings! \n\n\n\nOlder 5th and 6th grade students\, who have gradually gained confidence and skills\, fill tea and hot chocolate orders with many specific requests – one adult would like green tea with honey\, another has chosen English Breakfast tea with sugar\, while another wants hot chocolate\, sometimes requiring whipped cream.There’s so much to keep track of. \n\n\n\nCoffees can be regular or dark. It can come with or without milk. Students field a myriad of requests\, which boosts their critical thinking capabilities.And\, of course\, they love the thrill of using the cash register and fulfilling multi-faceted requests. \n\n\n\nIt’s a lot of work! And yet we keep offering this experience year after year. \n\n\n\nWhy? \n\n\n\nThere is an enormous joy witnessing how acquiring skills makes a person stand straighter\, look teammates and customers directly in the eye\, speak up more and more\, and walk with a determined and confident step. \n\n\n\nIt’s not a competition\, there are no grades.There is only personal growth\, as each student can achieve it. There is a chance to try new things\, in a “real world” context. We really do have a successful business! \n\n\n\nPlease support the work of Coffee Cup with a donation to the PRM Foundation.

DESCRIPTION:Talk to your student’s teacher for details! \n\n\n\nHelp out for Staff Appreciation Lunch! \n\n\n\nEvening conferences are coming up and it makes for a long day for the staff at PRM. Maybe you’ve been wanting to try a new pasta recipe or you have an award winning pasta dish? Please consider signing up to feed the staff throughout the day and evening on February 22! We’re going to provide a PASTA smorgasbord–ALL things pasta. I personally love this opportunity to volunteer and show my appreciation to the PRM staff\, because my work schedule does not allow me to be present during the school day or evening events. Doubling a dinner recipe one night is an easy way for me to get involved…I can just send half the food in a crock pot the next day! If time is tight in the evening\, you can also pick something up at the store to share with the staff\, or sign up to set-up\, refill or clean up. Check-out the Sign Up Genius and see how you can contribute! \n\n\n\nhttps://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0D4AA9AA2DA6F85-47664696-prmstaff \n\n\n\nThank You!

Come see us and consider a donation for this wonderful program. \n\n\n\nWhat do we teach at Coffee Cup and “why?”Easy answers are “Entrepreneurship\,” “Hospitality\,” “Business.”Yet in reality\, our aims are far more subtle and significant.We teach that life is a series of acquired skills – and that mastery is achievable\, exciting\, and fun. \n\n\n\nMuch of school\, by necessity\, is a head down and pencil up to learn facts. In Coffee Cup\, our heads are up\, and we teach students to look adults in the eye\, requesting and receiving information\, processing it accurately and efficiently\, and completing tasks in a team with others. Of course\, we discuss concepts like “types of businesses\,” “expenses” and “net profit.” But then we translate those concepts into actions. \n\n\n\nAfter each Thursday morning cafe closes\, students are able to count how many cups of coffee\, tea and hot chocolate we’ve “sold” (remember\, all of our beverages are given to school staff for free)\, how much we’ve received from sales to the public\, and how much we brought in through donations.Yet even those numbers are important only in context.Before any sale is made\, students have learned how to take an order and fulfill it. And this is no small feat. \n\n\n\nThink about it: We ask 4th graders to walk through their school\, find adult staff members\, ask them if they would like a beverage\, and take an accurate order from them (which includes writing the adult’s name\, room number\, and how much sugar\, cream\, etc. they’d like on an order form). Then\, this student must return to the cafe area and wait patiently while the order is filled by other classmates\, who use the information that’s been collected to make the beverage correctly. Once the order is completed\, the student must retrace their path back to that same adult\, and deliver the order with a smile and a thank you.This happens 60 – 90 times within an hour on Thursday mornings! \n\n\n\nOlder 5th and 6th grade students\, who have gradually gained confidence and skills\, fill tea and hot chocolate orders with many specific requests – one adult would like green tea with honey\, another has chosen English Breakfast tea with sugar\, while another wants hot chocolate\, sometimes requiring whipped cream.There’s so much to keep track of. \n\n\n\nCoffees can be regular or dark. It can come with or without milk. Students field a myriad of requests\, which boosts their critical thinking capabilities.And\, of course\, they love the thrill of using the cash register and fulfilling multi-faceted requests. \n\n\n\nIt’s a lot of work! And yet we keep offering this experience year after year. \n\n\n\nWhy? \n\n\n\nThere is an enormous joy witnessing how acquiring skills makes a person stand straighter\, look teammates and customers directly in the eye\, speak up more and more\, and walk with a determined and confident step. \n\n\n\nIt’s not a competition\, there are no grades.There is only personal growth\, as each student can achieve it. There is a chance to try new things\, in a “real world” context. We really do have a successful business! \n\n\n\nPlease support the work of Coffee Cup with a donation to the PRM Foundation.

Come see us and consider a donation for this wonderful program. \n\n\n\nWhat do we teach at Coffee Cup and “why?”Easy answers are “Entrepreneurship\,” “Hospitality\,” “Business.”Yet in reality\, our aims are far more subtle and significant.We teach that life is a series of acquired skills – and that mastery is achievable\, exciting\, and fun. \n\n\n\nMuch of school\, by necessity\, is a head down and pencil up to learn facts. In Coffee Cup\, our heads are up\, and we teach students to look adults in the eye\, requesting and receiving information\, processing it accurately and efficiently\, and completing tasks in a team with others. Of course\, we discuss concepts like “types of businesses\,” “expenses” and “net profit.” But then we translate those concepts into actions. \n\n\n\nAfter each Thursday morning cafe closes\, students are able to count how many cups of coffee\, tea and hot chocolate we’ve “sold” (remember\, all of our beverages are given to school staff for free)\, how much we’ve received from sales to the public\, and how much we brought in through donations.Yet even those numbers are important only in context.Before any sale is made\, students have learned how to take an order and fulfill it. And this is no small feat. \n\n\n\nThink about it: We ask 4th graders to walk through their school\, find adult staff members\, ask them if they would like a beverage\, and take an accurate order from them (which includes writing the adult’s name\, room number\, and how much sugar\, cream\, etc. they’d like on an order form). Then\, this student must return to the cafe area and wait patiently while the order is filled by other classmates\, who use the information that’s been collected to make the beverage correctly. Once the order is completed\, the student must retrace their path back to that same adult\, and deliver the order with a smile and a thank you.This happens 60 – 90 times within an hour on Thursday mornings! \n\n\n\nOlder 5th and 6th grade students\, who have gradually gained confidence and skills\, fill tea and hot chocolate orders with many specific requests – one adult would like green tea with honey\, another has chosen English Breakfast tea with sugar\, while another wants hot chocolate\, sometimes requiring whipped cream.There’s so much to keep track of. \n\n\n\nCoffees can be regular or dark. It can come with or without milk. Students field a myriad of requests\, which boosts their critical thinking capabilities.And\, of course\, they love the thrill of using the cash register and fulfilling multi-faceted requests. \n\n\n\nIt’s a lot of work! And yet we keep offering this experience year after year. \n\n\n\nWhy? \n\n\n\nThere is an enormous joy witnessing how acquiring skills makes a person stand straighter\, look teammates and customers directly in the eye\, speak up more and more\, and walk with a determined and confident step. \n\n\n\nIt’s not a competition\, there are no grades.There is only personal growth\, as each student can achieve it. There is a chance to try new things\, in a “real world” context. We really do have a successful business! \n\n\n\nPlease support the work of Coffee Cup with a donation to the PRM Foundation. All students are offered this experience at no cost. Please note “Coffee Cup” with your donation. https://prmrocks.networkforgood.com/ URL:https://prmrocks.org/event/parent-social-1-2-hour-at-coffee-cup/2024-01-11/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://prmrocks.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/coffeewithpres-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
