My Project

At our school, we use a Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) system to encourage and reinforce positive student behavior. Students earn points in every class for demonstrating respect, responsibility, and engagement. These points can be redeemed in our PBIS store, which has become a beloved part of our school culture.

The most popular items in our store are snacks—simple treats that bring joy and motivation to our students.

Unfortunately, due to recent funding restrictions, we can no longer use school funds to stock snacks. This change has impacted student engagement with the PBIS system, and we’re seeking support to keep our store stocked with the rewards our students love most.

Your donation will help us purchase snacks that serve as meaningful incentives for students who are working hard to meet behavioral expectations. Research shows that PBIS is most effective when students are invested in the system, and keeping their favorite rewards available is key to maintaining that investment.

With your help, we can continue to celebrate positive behavior and build a school environment where students feel recognized, motivated, and proud of their growth.
