Help Encourage Academic Achievement

Help me give my students fidget toys to buy with earned school money. Students enjoy toys, and the DIY Robot Spinners will encourage great behavior and academic achievement.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

Let us encourage our students to learn and grow. An incentive store is the way to go!! Students learn how to earn money and what they like or save for a better gift in our school. Let's create a store that has it all, gifts, widgets, and snacks for students who are unable to experience the fruit rollups or fruit snacks in a normal environment.

Many of our students are unable to experience extra snacks or widgets as other students but with our incentive store, they can earn them on their own by completing work or extra assignments.

Our goal is to create an environment where students learn to accomplish goals and gain rewards with hard work and persistence.
