Empower Our Scholars: Classroom Incentives for Success

Help me give my students the opportunity to thrive by providing classroom incentives in our underfunded school.

My Project

"Empower Our Scholars: Classroom Incentives for Success" aims to provide much-needed support to Young Elementary by introducing motivating incentives for students. With your help, we can create a positive learning environment where students are rewarded for their hard work and dedication. By funding this project, you'll directly contribute to enhancing educational outcomes and inspiring students to reach their full potential. Join us in making a difference in the lives of these young learners!

Young Elementary students face a high level of socioeconomic stress, which often leads to negative behaviors associated with school.

This items will create our class store, where students can use points that they earn to shop each week. Points are given for positive behaviors, helping others, completing homework and much more. Giving students positive reinforcement makes students more willing to participate in their own learning and therefore creating a life-long love of learning.

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
