Panther Perk Friday☕🍩
Mrs. Bonser and Mrs. Geddings have been working hard with their students to prepare for the first run of our Panther Perk Coffee Cart. This project allows students to gain real world experience with a variety of ELA and Math skills. The focus for this week was counting money and making correct change. Our panther baristas have been preparing all week and it showed! We are so proud of their accomplishments today!

The Panther Perk runs off of donations each week. If you would like to sponsor a week by providing four dozen pastries for our students to sell, please comment below or message us! 💙💛🐾
