The Roaring Roasters is a student run in school coffee business. Students under the direction of teacher Josie Fox provide coffee for teachers who order weekly via a google form. The students tally the orders, obtain supplies, make the coffee, and deliver it to teachers while it's still piping hot every Friday. All the money the Roaring Roasters earns goes straight back into the program funding supplies for the next week's orders. Students in the Roaring Roasters learn important life skills through the coffee business!

Freshman Chloee Lara is reading out the coffee orders of teachers who submitted a form for coffee to Fox, who writes down their exact order.

Freshman Avery Shubert is preparing the coffee cups. On Thursdays. Fox's first and second hour classes help prep the coffee so they're ready to get delivered on Friday to the teachers who ordered.

Friday has arrived, and the Roaring Roasters are ready to start making the coffee orders for teachers! They carefully follow the label on every cup to see the exact order of what the teacher would like. They work together as a team to get the coffee made and ready to be delivered!
