Several Cocalico High School teachers made lunch reservations on the last Friday of February, but they didn’t need to leave the building. Instead, they were invited to dine at the World Express Restaurant, a creation of the Life Skills students and their teachers. “I am in charge of marketing,” said 16-yearold Ethan Wickenheiser, “but at some point I may do
different roles if needed.” Shown are diners and restaurant staff including, from left to right, (seated) James Castaneda, Jim Shoemaker, Rich Kohler (English teacher), Eddie Negron, Nancy Lewis (English teacher), Wendy Schmid (Social Studies teacher), Elaine Shoemaker; (standing) Jenna Schillaci (Life Skills teacher and Maste-

In preparation, the students applied for various jobs — chef, dishwasher, server, busser, interior decorator, marketing, host, manager, inventory, buyer — and were interviewed by volunteers from the community.
