My Project

As our elementary school’s PBIS lead and a fourth grade teacher, I’m excited to request donations for our school’s PBIS store, which has over 500 students.

Our school is highly diverse, and many of our students do not have access to explore STEM and creative opportunities outside of the classroom.

Our PBIS store serves as an incentive program where students earn rewards for demonstrating positive behavior, responsibility, and academic excellence.

We aim to enhance this store by offering engaging STEM kits, educational books, musical instruments, and art supplies that will not only motivate students but also provide them with meaningful learning experiences.

By incorporating these resources, we hope to spark students' interests in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, literacy, music, and the arts, ultimately enriching their education beyond the classroom.
