Help me give my students a popcorn machine so they may have an enjoyable and rewarding experience that will positively impact motivation, academic performance, and school spirit.
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
The proposed popcorn machine will serve as an attractive reward system for our students, aligning with our mission to create an engaging and positive atmosphere. Consistent academic achievements will be recognized and rewarded with popcorn tokens that can be redeemed for freshly popped popcorn. The popcorn machine will serve as a means of reinforcing positive behavior, such as demonstrating kindness, respect, and helpfulness towards peers and teachers. Faculty and staff will have the ability to distribute popcorn tokens for exemplary behavior. Hosting special events or movie nights with popcorn for all participants will promote a sense of unity among students, fostering school spirit. We believe that offering popcorn during school-wide events or important gatherings will incentivize students to attend and actively participate in these activities, contributing to a more engaged and involved student body.
At our school, we recognize the importance of incentives in encouraging academic excellence, good behavior, and active participation.
Incorporating a popcorn machine as an incentive for our students will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the overall school environment.
More than half of students from low‑income households
