My Project

All items purchased will be utilized in our school store, which is an integral part of our feedback and recognition system that supports the implementation of PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) within our school community. Through this system, students have the opportunity to earn Begich Bucks by demonstrating behaviors that reflect the core values of "Being Begich"—being safe, kind, and responsible. These earned Begich Bucks can then be exchanged for various rewards in the store, further reinforcing positive behaviors and fostering a supportive and encouraging environment for our students.
