My Project

Our building, K-8, is a school system that is 100% free and reduced lunch. Daily, these students come to my room not only with a hungry mind but a hungry heart. Because these students don't have much at home, we seek to incentivize good grades, a strong work ethic, and teamwork through a program called Building Dreams. Building Dreams is a Social Emotional Learning program that teaches self awareness, values, and behavior management. One aspect of the program that we have inserted at our schools is a reward system. Students can earn bonus bucks for such things as problem solving, self control, accountability, and academic performance.

Can you help us fill the Building Dreams store with prizes young students, K-8, would value and enjoy?

Your support will not only serve to reward students for strong academics but ultimately reinforce values and ethics we seek in our future leaders.

Ms. Osburn
Grades 3-5
