PBHS Rolls Out Coffee Service

PBHS Rolls Out Coffee Service
Poplar Bluff, Missouri - The Poplar Bluff High School Coffee Crew began serving refreshments to teachers on Tuesday, Feb. 12, in an effort to provide students an opportunity to work on pre-vocational skills for their post-graduation transition.
 
Every Tuesday and Thursday during first and fourth hour, the students bring around a cart to faculty members who order coffee, tea or bottled water. Punch cards designed by the Technical Career Center computer graphics class are purchased my staff for $5 for 10 drinks, plus one freebee.
 
The concept of the Coffee Crew came after a visit to Jackson High School earlier in the academic year, according to Mindy Garrett, R-I special services director. The cart was purchased through a mini-grant teacher Jeanette Miller was recently awarded from the Academic Assistance Group, and special aprons were designed by teacher Alexis Blevins. Chartwells supplied the containers.
 
Jaden Sharp, a senior who works at Starbucks, donated several pounds of specialty coffee to help launch the program, which is sustained by generous contributions.

Mules Café Takes Reservations for First Time

Mules Café Takes Reservations for First Time
Poplar Bluff, Missouri - A total of 50 reservations were booked at the Mules Café on Wednesday, Feb. 20, for culinary arts students of the Technical Career Center to prepare their first full-service meal.
 
As opposed to serving walk-in customers in a buffet line, orders were selected from a menu and entrees were cooked to order.
 
“Ninety-five percent of jobs [students] will be looking to get into are going to involve cooking to order, serving the public and communication skills,” instructor Brandon Moon explained. “We can’t learn unless we do.”
 
Throughout the lunch shift, 12 students were divided in the kitchen and the front of the house, where they waited tables, grilled and plated meals, plus washed dishes. Moon oversaw the tickets coming in, while his assistant Monica Lewis served as hostess.
 
“We’re blessed that we have customers who know the kids are students, and are patient and giving,” Lewis commented. Tips for the day totaled $90, which will be reinvested into the program.
 
While time management remains a key area of improvement, noted Moon, the chef indicated that he was generally pleased with the service, knowing students obtained real-world experience necessary in the restaurant business. Moon said he looks forward to the next full-service meal, slated to take place on Wednesday, April 24.
