My Project

GEO Next Gen students are eager to improve overall ACT scores and obtain their Associates Degree as a high school student. Student will be rewarded for meeting monthly goals that are aligned to the school goals. Each student will be acknowledged and receive a reward from the wish list along with a certificate of acknowledgement for meeting his/her goal. At the end of every semester, student will be able to participate in a school wide activity to celebrate their success along with the individual reward. Students must be in attendance to receive the edible rewards. The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students already have a "home." In other words, I know exactly where everything will go. We just need your help in getting everything through our door! The snacks will be issued to students with certificates monthly. The stools will be added to the science labs for Students to sit on as a reward for science goals. The computer riser will be used in computational thinking for students that met goals. The sanitation wipes will be for students in SPED classes that need additional cleaning once balsa projects are successful completed.
