Starting and Stocking a School Store

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Terrell Smith's classroom raised $740

My Project

Due to the rigor of academics, 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 school's Ram Store.

Our students earn Class Dojo points as rewards for good behavior.

Anyone on campus can give points out. Class Dojo points will be used as currency by our students in the Ram 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. We hope to reward positive behavior and add a bit of financially fun learning. Will you help us stock our school store?
