Rewarding Positive Behavior with Fun School Store Prizes

Help me give my students prizes they can earn with caught being good points.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Curry's classroom raised $756

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our school is committed to fostering a positive learning environment through our Caught Being Good Points program, where students earn points for demonstrating kindness, responsibility, and respect. To keep this initiative engaging, we need to restock our school store with exciting items students can redeem with their points. We are asking for support to purchase plushies, extra bounce balls, decoded pens, and multi-colored pens—fun and appealing items that motivate students to continue positive behavior and active participation.

With your help, we can encourage our students to maintain good behavior and contribute to a positive school atmosphere.

These tangible rewards reinforce that their efforts are valued and recognized, promoting a sense of achievement and school pride. Your generosity will help us restock our store and create a stronger, more supportive learning environment. Thank you for supporting our mission to invest in our students' success!
