My Project

For this project, I am requesting treats to reward our IB learners of the month. As an international baccalaureate school, we recognize students who consistently display the IB learner profile traits such as being caring, inquirers, communicators, and risk takers. We also recognize students who have a positive impact on the school and local community. My goal is to encourage all students in our school community to be well-rounded individuals. Each learner of the month will receive a bag with a pencil, bracelet, candy, notepad, stickers, and a button for them and their parents to share their accomplishments with the community proudly.
