Students at my school face challenges daily, at school and outside of school, that require positive reinforcement to battle against those challenges and promote healthy future citizenship. We are a PBIS school, and positive reinforcement allows students to make decisions in the right direction.
Students at our school are surrounded by caring faculty that continues to work together for their benefit.
The social skills of the students require an alternative approach for rewards and incentives to encourage healthy choices. Every bit helps when the world seems harsh.
My Project
My students will use these snacks to encourage focus by conquering hunger. It has been scientifically proven that students can't focus when they are hungry. In the past, we have had some amazing donors! Through their donations, we have lowered discipline issues, increased testing scores and grades, and students have had less hunger in the classroom. One of the tremendous effects of this donation is when the students realize that someone in society took the time (and money) to help their progress and futures. My classroom motto is, "We should strive to make the world better than the way we found it." Your donation enforces that positive ripple and allows them to see there are kind and giving people in the world, and they have a choice in the future to follow that same example. These food donations have become an imperative element to the success of our school.
DonorsChoose is the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.
As a teacher-founded nonprofit, we're trusted by thousands of teachers and supporters across the country. This classroom request for funding was created by Ms. Bradshaw and reviewed by the DonorsChoose team.
