“Hello and welcome to Menlo Park Elementary School, can we please take your order?”
Menlo Park Elementary students participating in the Paws & Perks Café take on real-world responsibilities, including taking staff orders for coffee, tea, and pastries; organizing and tallying orders; managing payments; and delivering items to staff throughout the building. This authentic, hands-on experience builds essential life skills, including communication, organization, financial literacy, and customer service. And as an added bonus, everyone enjoys a well-earned treat - examples of experiential, purposeful, and engaging instruction, even for some of our youngest learners!
