Rewarding Progress-Providing Calming Tools

Help me give my students and the entire student body Positive Behavior Support incentives, calming tools for regulation to improve learning, and prizes for school community-building events such as all-school bingo games, school festivals, etc.

My Project

As we continue our daily journey to build school-wide excitement for the progress of learning and behavior/social-emotional learning goals, we ask for your assistance in purchasing this wide variety of positive behavioral support incentives, calming strategies, and prizes for upcoming uplifting school community-building events (such as all-school bingo reward parties, school festival, etc). The students earn "shark bites" when working to meet goals. These goals are intentionally set up as stepping stones to assist them in improving their academic success. Recognizing these efforts with small tokens aligned with their interests or needs (such as pens, pencils, fidget tools, etc) builds great excitement to do well within the student body.

We are a Title I school with a high level of complex needs and minimal financial support.

Bringing everyone together in ways that support, build, and strengthen our school community and reward academic progress that happens in combination with regulation is of utmost value to us. Please consider a financial donation towards our wish list to help us reach and exceed our goals to focus on strengths while we continue to build on lagging skills. You rock! Thanks so much!
