Our school is a K-5 school and we are always looking for ways to motivate students to become better academically and behaviorally. We are located in a high poverty urban district in one of the largest cities in New Jersey. Over the past few years we have seen tremendous cuts in school funding which has made obtaining classroom supplies very difficult. Not to mention the resources now needed to repair the damage from Hurricane Sandy.
