Huge shoutout to Mr. Webb’s 8th grade students and high school service students for helping us prepare for this activity!

🥘 🛻 Food Truck Project Feast 🛻 🍱
Students in 6th grade STEM class have been working as entrepreneurs on a Food Truck Project. Students had to design their own food truck, come up with a business plan, a menu, logo, slogans, advertisements, etc. Check out some samples of parts of their projects!
Today, they were able to bring in a sample item from their menu to share with their classmates. Let’s just say, we may not need to eat lunch!
Each year, their ideas amaze me! I am proud of these students and all their hard work! -Ms. Heddins
