Keeping the PAWS Store Possible

Help me give my students brand new supplies for the student incentives store.

Mrs. Gordon Diggs - Latham Elementary School

Winston Salem, NC Grades PreK-2

My Project

My students are energetic, inquisitive and loving. They take great pride in showing their "Tiger Pride." We built an school-wide incentive system around the theme of our Tiger Mascot. Students uphold the P.A.W.S. expectations to earn points, and then they spend their points at the student incentive store, the "PAWS Store." They earn points for excellent conduct, hardwork, and dedication to their learning. We offer this store at least twice a year to the whole school. In order to keep this store stocked, we need regular grants, donors, and supporters.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
