Prize for Positivity

Help me give my students prizes for positive behavior support to support our PBIS initiative.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Cameron's classroom raised $212

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our schools follows PBIS (Positive behavioral intervention and supports). To help support positive behavior in the classroom and around the school, I would like to offer my students a prize bin.

Giving students a goal to work towards throughout the week will help encourage positive behavior throughout the school day.

Their hard work and positive behavior should be encouraged and rewarded!

Our students will have access to small trinkets that are age appropriate such as slime, key chains, desk pets, etc.

Our students and I give our biggest thanks!

Ms. Cameron Merrillville Intermediate School Grades 6-8

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
