My Project

Hi everyone! I am looking for help with snacks for our incentive based platform we use here at the school, "Dojo". Our students get Dojo points throughout the day from staff by doing all sorts of things. Some examples would be by being a good role model or peer and helping out, following directions, wearing the school uniform, being determined, empowered, motivated, respectful, kind, etc. Each student collects their own separate Dojo points in their personal account and can trade the points in for different incentives whether it be admission to a school dance or a preferred snack.

Our students come from low income homes and some don't have money for snacks from the store, so this is a great way for them to get their need met while being the best version of their self.

Our students are food driven and get really hungry throughout the day as they are growing teenagers. Some get very grouchy without a snack! This project will also help me to alleviate some of the cost for me. I would appreciate ANY donation :)
