Incentives for Organization!

Help me give my students rewards and Incentives via snacks and treats throughout the entire year.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Cuzzort's classroom raised $357

This project is fully funded

My Project

One thing I am in charge of at my school is a program called AVID. AVID stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination and part of that program is all about organization. Students are required to keep a binder and we try to keep them as organized as possible. I have created punch cards for students to get punches when they have a perfect binder on binder check days.

I just need rewards to hand out to the students when they have a completed punch card.

The punch cards say "Your binder is on fire," which is why most of the snacks in the cart are hot or spicy to go along with the tagline. This incentive will be school wide.
