Kasey Thompson and Zoey O’Brien at Washington High School. They received $796.66 for their proposal, “Starbuddies Coffee Cart.”

The funds will be used to equip a coffee cart to help students with various abilities develop job skills and promote inclusion. Students in the Best Buddies program will manage the coffee cart, take orders, make drinks, and process payments. Initially, orders will be taken from staff, with plans to expand throughout the building. The project aims to complement the school’s job skills program.
