My Project

These items will be used for students to earn as a positive incentive in our school store. We need dinosaur plush, squishies, bookmarks, and more!

Our goal for this project is to reward students for their positive behavior and give them something that will make them feel special.

Some of our students do not always get gifts and rewards. We want them to know that they are special and how much they mean to us. Our students are special to us in many ways, and we want to put them in a good space in order to succeed.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
