LEGO Blocks for Kind Characteristics

Help me give my students amazing prizes to work towards for their quarterly awards assemblies.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Hawks's classroom raised $416

My Project

My school supports students by recognizing and rewarding characteristics of kindness. We value how students treat each other throughout the year. We talk a lot about respect and empathy, and how treating others reflects on ourselves. Each quarter, we hold an award assembly and draw the names of students who have shown exemplary behavior in these areas. Our 3-5 students really love LEGO blocks and having some cool LEGO sets that relate to the things they’re into would be an awesome reward for them to see. Our school is very low-income, so I added some higher-priced sets that they might not be able to afford on their own. Thank you for taking the time to consider helping our students who are always helping others.
