StarSkills Cafe

The StarSkills Cafe is a project by the Crownover AVLS classroom which allows students to work on customer service & product preparation job skills, and money handling skills, in anticipation for work during and after high school. Every Wednesday, the StarSkills baristas will prepare drink and snack orders for staff members that can be delivered to teacher's classrooms or offices. Students also take walk-in orders Monday through Friday when customers come into the classroom cafe. We hope you enjoy this special service on our campus!

Pricing:

Sodas, K- cup coffees and water $.75

Iced Coffees $1.00

Snacks $1.00

Smoothies $1.50


*On special occasions throughout the year, the StarSkills baristas will offer and serve special baked treats like gourmet cupcakes and chocolate dipped strawberries, or will offer a full teacher lunch for purchase.

Money (cash only) will be collected when you pick up your coffee or the students deliver it to you. Thank you for helping us "brew independence" with the students in AVLS!
