My Project

Our school is committed to fostering a positive learning environment through our PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) Rewards program. To keep our students engaged and motivated, we want to provide exciting incentives that they can earn by demonstrating kindness, responsibility, and respect. We are seeking support to stock our PBIS store with fun and appealing rewards, including Ring Pops, Otter Pops, character sticky notes, and squishy toys. These items will be available for all students in kindergarten through 5th grade to trade for their hard-earned PBIS Rewards points.

Our PBIS Rewards program plays a crucial role in promoting positive behavior across our entire school.

When students are recognized and rewarded for their efforts, they feel valued and motivated to continue making good choices. Providing a variety of incentives ensures that all students have something exciting to work toward, helping to reinforce positive behavior in a meaningful way.

We are requesting the following items to keep our PBIS store well-stocked and engaging:

Ring Pops – A sweet treat that students love and enjoy as a special reward.

Otter Pops – A refreshing treat, perfect for celebrating good behavior, especially on warm days!

Character Sticky Notes – Fun and colorful sticky notes featuring favorite characters, perfect for writing positive messages or keeping track of assignments.

Squishy Toys – Stress-relieving and fun fidget toys that students of all ages adore.

Thank you for supporting our students and helping to make our PBIS program even more impactful!
