You can thank a student for the pizza you had from the Sonny’s Italian Kitchen and Pizzeria buffet line in Sturgeon Bay during the lunch hour on Friday.

Over a dozen students from the Algoma Venture Academy received hands-on training from the staff at Sonny’s for everything from preparing and baking the pizzas to keeping the buffet stocked and cleaning tables. No word on how much money was raised during their time on the clock, but the students were raising the funds for a pair of causes.

The Algoma Venture Academy is a public charter school that takes students out of the classroom and into personalized community and entrepreneurial opportunities.

You can listen to our interview with three of the students previewing the event below.
