This week's cafe was a great demonstration of supply and demand! We had many customers among the audience of the third grade play at the multicultural assembly. Our cafe workers had their hands full as many, many patrons sought to buy our goods. We sold out of everything - even some extra sandwiches and salads we had made. Our supply of baked goods, drinks, and lunch items this week could not keep up with the demand. It was our best week so far in sales! Though we know next week won't have the same foot traffic, the kids are looking forward to making our last cafe a success.
The kids have also started thinking about what we should do with the money our cafes brought in. We are looking to donate some of the money to organizations like WCS (Wildlife Conservation Society), and others seeking to protect and preserve rainforests. The rest we will use as spring comes to add plants, mulch and other gardening upgrades to our outdoor classroom space! Since we began the Outdoor Classroom, we have used our earnings this way and are proud of our sustainability.
