My Project

At VHE, we believe that positive reinforcement helps students develop confidence, perseverance, and a love for learning. Our students work hard every day to meet academic goals, demonstrate positive behavior, and show kindness to others. To recognize their efforts, we would like to create a Student Treat & Reward Box filled with small incentives that encourage and celebrate their success.

The treat boxes will include items such as snacks, balls, putty, party favors, fidget toys, and other small rewards that students can earn through academic achievement, attendance, positive behavior, growth, and demonstrating our school expectations.

These incentives provide immediate recognition and motivate students to continue making positive choices both inside and outside the classroom.

Many of our students face challenges beyond the classroom, and a small reward can make a significant impact on their day. These treats help build confidence, strengthen relationships, and create a positive school culture where students feel valued and appreciated.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
