The district also provided the menu the students used for their visit to Rosie's Bar & Grill: In addition, as part of the field trip, the Wilton Manors Police Department provides traffic assistance for the students so they can see and learn about the different ways police officers support the community. They learn about the types of jobs involved in operating a restaurant, how to pay for their meal, and how to leave a tip for the service they receive. The students order their meals from a student-friendly paper menu that has three child-friendly choices (see attached student menu). When the business opened, students transitioned to a separate, outside location to order and eat their meals. The bar and restaurant was not open to the general public while students were present inside. They also visit a local restaurant, Rosie's Bar and Grill, which is within walking distance from the school and opens early for the students. Wilton Manors Elementary School offers a Unit of Inquiry called, 'How we organize ourselves.' In the unit, students learn about neighborhood safety, community helpers, the importance of being a community member, what it takes for a community to be successful, different jobs in a community, and social skills when interacting with others. EST: Broward County Public Schools issued the following statement Thursday evening 'in response to criticism about a Wilton Manors Elementary School field trip.'
