Ms. Todoric Mount Vernon High School

Mount Vernon, NY Grades 9-12

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Help me get customized class backpacks for students who earn them through our class PBIS reward system. I would like to promote good behavior in my classroom by offering my students prizes when they reach certain behavior expectations and strategies.

A variety of prizes will be offered with a personalized black back pack as one of the top rewards!

This vinyl paper will be used to tailor their back pack reward by putting their name on it if they choose.

Students will earn points for good behavior in my class and then cash in these points for a customized back pack and this paper will allow for the customization in many colors!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
