My Project

We are starting off 2024 with a snacks-for-points system that will have a positive impact on our middle schooler's classroom environment and learning. I use a reward system where students earn points through good behavior, consistent attendance, and academic effort. Students can cash in these points for prizes, seat choices, and now - snacks! Middle schoolers have a ravenous appetite, which should motivate them to stay focused and on time for class. This approach fosters a sense of responsibility and motivation among students as they strive to accumulate points for various accomplishments. Your donation will help reinforce positive behavior and also keep their tummies full!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
