My Project

My school wants to motivate our students to do their best on all of their end-of-year mandated tests. We want to offer prizes for students who try their best and do well as we head into our end-of-year testing season. We are so excited to help students stay motivated to learn and excel as we finish the year strong! Students will be offered both extrinsic prizes as well as some intrinsic prizes. We hope these prizes will empower our students to take control of their learning and try their best.

Grades 3-5
