Happy Kids = Smart Kids

My students need encouraging incentives and awards.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Nguyen's classroom raised $572

This project is fully funded

My Students

How special did you feel when your teacher stopped to celebrate your special achievement? Students thrive and succeed off of motivating awards and appreciation by their teacher.

Being a part of an urban and diverse environment, student at my school experience things that a kid never should go through.

In the safe classroom setting, they need extra incentives to motivate healthy choices and study habits. Most importantly they need to feel that they are special, just being themselves.

My Project

These resources will help promote a happy, comfortable, and safe environment where the students will feel valued. The certificate awards will specifically target the strengths of each child reinforcing that every child has his or her own talent. The prizes and stickers might seem trivial, but they make a huge difference in their attitude about school.

This donation will help my students stay engaged and motivated to learn while appreciating them as individuals.

They deserve to know how wonderful and unique they each are. Instilling this joy and confidence within them will benefit their lives as learners in their educational future.
