My Project

Please help my students by donating for prizes and treats for our classroom incentive prize box. Our school uses the PBIS model, which promotes positive behavior and interaction through incentives and treats.

What a better way to spend your day at school?

Working hard, being kind, and earning fun things.

The bags of chips, ring pops, and nerd ropes will be placed into our snack draw for students who earn them, as well as any student who made need a quick pick me up. The art supplies, tempera paint markers, paint trays, and brushes will be used for our STEM building challenges in class. We do a lot of project based learning that requires some craft supplies.
