My Project

Our students are amazing! They are kind, helpful, determined, and fun. They are generous, caring, and curious. And above all else, they are 8, 9, 10, and 11 year old kids learning how to navigate their world. Sometimes they make the wrong choice, but mostly they make good choices each day at school.

At our school, good choices earn you ClassDojo points- and those points get cashed in for prizes on our Prize Cart!

Our Prize Cart is due for a much-needed restock of cool prizes that will motivate our students to keep making the right behavior decisions.

The Prize Cart plays an important part in learning, too. When misbehavior is at a minimum, teachers can focus more on teaching and students are able to learn more. It's amazing how powerful a prize can be!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
