Starting and Stocking a School Store

Help me give my students snacks, mechanical pencils, scratch notes and mini snake cubes. These will be used to start our new school store.

My Students

My school is a large Title I school where eighty percent of the students live below the poverty line. My students are academically and economically diverse. Many of them face situations that no child should ever face, like being temporarily homeless. Yet, they are also hardworking, enthusiastic young people full of potential and possibilities. They have lots of life and energy.

They love to learn, especially in new and exciting ways, and they recognize that they are part of a larger, generous community.

Please consider helping me to make this their best year ever!

My Project

This year has been a tough one to say the least. Due to Covid, our students have had very few opportunities to have fun and be rewarded for all of their hard work. Our administration and staff are hoping to change that soon by opening our schools' first reward store.

Our students earn Spartan Sparks as rewards for good behavior.

Anyone on campus can give one out. It is these Spartan Sparks that will be used as currency by our students in the New Spartan Store.

This project is for fun items that will be placed in the store so that students can purchase them. These items include erasers, snacks, mini snakes, mechanical pencils, etc. Our hope is to reward positive behavior and add a bit of financially fun learning. Will you help us stock our first ever school store?

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
