My Project

To encourage positive behavior and celebrate student achievements, we want to create a prize box filled with fun toys, candy, and art supplies. These rewards will serve as tangible incentives to motivate students to stay engaged, work hard, and demonstrate kindness in the classroom.

Having a variety of prize options ensures every student feels recognized and appreciated.

This project supports a positive learning environment where effort and good choices are celebrated, helping students build confidence and a love for learning. Your support will make these rewards possible and inspire our students to keep striving!
