My students need games, pencils, erasers, bookmarks, and other school supplies to celebrate their success in the classroom!

My Students

It isn't always easy to do the right thing, especially in middle school. My students need incentives to continue to make positive choices and celebrate their success.

My students are sixth graders at an urban elementary-middle school.

Being in middle school is difficult, especially when there are a lot of outside factors that make it hard to focus on school. My students work hard to be successful in school, and these incentives will help to celebrate their success.

My Project

We need games, pencils, erasers, bookmarks, and other school supplies to celebrate their success in the classroom! The materials I am requesting will help my students gain tangible rewards for their positive behavior and give my students school supplies that they need on daily basis. The games will allow my students to earn free time and to play board games with each other to celebrate their positive choices.

Your donation is important because it allows my students to have tangible rewards for their hard work and success.

Your donation of pencils, pens, erasers, and other classroom supplies will help reward positive behavior and motivate students to make positive choices.
