Starting Our School Store

Help me give my students a school store to help promote positive behavior and support our house system.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. McAllister's classroom raised $770

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our school is full of enthusiastic and intelligent students that are ready to learn. We have about 400 students, 90% of the students live below the poverty line. Although facing many adversities our students are hardworking, and full of potential and possibilities. We have a house system, in which we earn points for positive attributes that we display during the school day. We are four houses, one family.

This project is for fun items that will be placed in our school store so that students can purchase them using their house team points.

These items include erasers, fidget toys, mini snakes, pencils, slime, etc. We are also asking for a cart to make our school store mobile and easily accessible. Our hope is to reward positive behavior and engage our students in our house system. Will you help us stock our school store?

Funding this project will give our school a school store to help promote positive behavior and support our house system. Students will be able to use the points that they earn to purchase items from the school store to celebrate their hard work and success. The store will also be mobile so that we can efficiently give students the opportunity to shop, and maintain instructional time.
