Reward the Good

Help me give my students materials to reward them for their hard work and success.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kothlow's classroom raised $580

This project is fully funded

My Project

The supplies that I am requesting will go to my resource classroom. Our school is a Title I school, which means that 60% of its students come from low socioeconomic status families. All of the students that come to my resource room are in need of individualized instruction to benefit from general education. The items that I am requesting, such as a capsule vending machine, small toys, and vending machine capsules will provide an incentive to work on difficult tasks, achieve their academic goals, and provide an opportunity to have toys they might not otherwise receive. I want my students to know they are valuable and that I value the effort they exert into their studies as they are presented with challenges their peers do not have.

"As human beings, our job in life is to help people realize how rare and valuable each one of us really is, that each of us has something that no one else has or ever will have something inside that is unique to all time." - Mr. Rodgers
