Students excitedly cut the ribbon as part of the opening ceremony Friday. The Sidney Public Schools Coffee Shop/Student Store officially opening Friday, Feb.1 with a ribbon cutting by the Cheyenne County Chamber of Commerce.
The west side of Sidney High School frequently is bustling with excitement. One could say it is all abuzz about the new buzz: coffee and like products.
The Sidney High School Coffee Shop held at ribbon cutting with the Cheyenne County Chamber of Commerce Friday morning. The opening of the coffee window is the result of work from several disciplines at Sidney High School and their associated students.
"This has been a really good learning experience for all of us," SHS student Tomiyah Munier during the ribbon cutting.
The Sidney Public Schools Coffee Shop/Student Store offers coffees, lattes, frappacinos, hot cocoa and cold drinks. They also offer Raider t-shirts and sportswear. The coffee shop accepts cash, debit or credit cards.
It is open in the mornings and may expand to game times and events.
The project started about a year ago as a manufacturing business and expanded into marketing, eventually taking the shape of a business that can serve students, faculty and staff, and the public.
"I think it is a great start," said School District Superintendent Jay Ehler.
The coffee shop is student-staffed and managed, according to teacher Lacy Russell, with teacher oversight.
The sign was designed and produced by the metals class. The business class is doing the marketing and accounting. Students also do their own graphics and design.
Russell said the staff is considering a multi-discipline program as part of the curriculum, possibly adding a block schedule.
