Rewarding Kindness and Goal Setting

Help me give my students prizes to reward their outstanding musicianship and for meeting their goals of being kind peers in music class.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Cuenca's classroom raised $160

This project is fully funded

My Project

I see over 800 students in music class every 3 weeks. These students set goals toward improving their musicianship and work toward our school's Big 3 Expectations, "Bee Here, Bee Kind, and Bee Your Best!".

These student prizes will help me reward students who are working to achieve their goals in music class while also being kind peers that show compassion to all.

The students are always so kind to one another and cheer when one of their peers is rewarded the "Music Master" at the end of class. Thank you to the donors who will help us reward our master students and please note that all students will be rewarded the "Music Master" before the end of the school year.
