cloth napkins, and disposable cups with plastic
lids. The lids are necessary when traveling by
car.
Within the building, meals are transported on
serving trays. Boxes which hold reams of copy
paper provide shallow lids for us to use when
transporting in vehicles.

hallwaylets take out that wall! Put up a
serving counter and we have a place for students
and staff to order food. Specializing in healthy
choices, the café will serve soy fruit smoothies
and vegetable wraps. Counters and barstools in
the hallway will facilitate quick eating and
socializing.

Entrepreneurial is the future

• Pride of ownership is a great motivator for
  success.
• A student-owned business puts learning into the
  hands of the students.
• Supplemental funding can buy new classroom
  equipment.
• Supplemental funding may become essential funding
  in the near future.
